Qatar Tourism has directed hotels across the country to extend the stays of travellers unable to depart due to ongoing travel restrictions, confirming it will cover the additional costs.

Qatar Tourism has issued temporary measures to support travellers unable to depart due to the ongoing airspace closure.

In a circular addressed to hotel establishment managers, the authority requested that accommodation be extended from 28 February until airport operations resume and the airspace reopens.

Qatar Tourism stated that the safety, security and well-being of all visitors remain among its highest priorities. The authority confirmed it would bear the extra expenses incurred as a result of the extended stays.

Airspace over Qatar remains temporarily closed as a precautionary measure amid Iran’s attacks on areas in Doha. Authorities have not provided a specific timeline for reopening, with departures and arrivals at Hamad International Airport halted until further notice. Officials have advised residents and visitors to rely on updates issued through official channels.

Relevant teams from Qatar Tourism will contact hotels directly to provide the necessary guidance and support, according to the notice.
