Hi Jade
You know, that comment about Doha becoming the Dubai of the Future is one that I think I'll stand by.
If you were to look at Dubai 15 years ago, it wasn't a patch on what it is today. It's the investment of billions of dollars in hotels and resorts, the huge and swift groth of Emirates and the global marketing effort that has made Dubai what it is today.
There is no way that, with the new Capacity that QR are taking on with the introduction of the A380s etc., Doha will remain purely a transit point. As the airline's routes expand in length, people are going to be attracted by stopovers in the state of Qatar and therefore, investment will follow!!!
If you're offered an acre of beachfront land in Doha at a knockdown price, buy it. I have a feeling Hilton might be asking to buy it from you 10 years down the line!
