The FIFA World Cup is the largest single event sports tournament in the world by a<br />
considerable margin and will put Qatar on the world map. Qatar‘s hospitality sector<br />
and tourism sector expects it to help boost the Gulf state into becoming a preferred<br />
destination for international tourism while reinforcing its reputation as a mass nation<br />
for major sports events. Qatar National Vision 2030 includes the government‘s first<br />
national sports sector strategy, a plan determining the importance of sport, not only<br />
to the country‘s business, leisure interests, and tourism, but also in support of the<br />
population‘s health. The future use of the event‘s facilities should also provide good<br />
inheritance opportunities to other industries like education, health, real estate etc.<br />
In Qatar, a determined infrastructure building programmed has been in place since<br />
2004 to build more competition fields, neighborhood playgrounds and cultural<br />
centres. Before deciding on whether to build new facilities, the option to use, coshare<br />
and co-locate with existing sports facilities should first be considered as a<br />
matter of due diligence.<br />
By maximizing usage and increasing access to existing venues, the quantity and mix<br />
of sports facilities that are available to the public can be increased without the need<br />
for heavy capital expenditure. Public policy needs to consider both access and use<br />
of sports venues and public parks, to ensure the best possible environment is made<br />
available for people to be physically active.<br />
In order to better inform policy, the Qatar government proposes the development of a<br />
National Sports and Recreation Facilities Master Plan to systematically collect and<br />
analyze data related to sports and recreation facilities. An inventory of national<br />
sports facilities will help Qatar:<br />
a. Develop a network of accessible, high quality open spaces and sport and<br />
recreation facilities, which meet public needs, are fit for purpose and are<br />
economically and environmentally sustainable;<br />
b. Determine an appropriate balance between new facilities and the<br />
enhancement of existing facilities; and<br />
c. Promote these facilities locally and internationally for future revenues.<br />
