Visit Qatar partners with FUN&SUN for Russian scenic flights
The Qatar Tourism Fund signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Russian company FUN&SUN, one of the leading tour operators in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), on the sidelines of the Arabian Travel Market in Dubai. The agreement includes launching a dedicated charter flight program that will connect Russian airports directly to Hamad International Airport starting October 2026, with the goal of enhancing direct air connectivity between Russia and Qatar and increasing the number of Russian tourists during the winter season of 2026-2027. During this period, Qatar is expected to host over 22,000 Russian visitors via direct flights from Moscow and Yekaterinburg. The partnership supports efforts to develop and promote comprehensive tourism packages that include flight arrangements, luxury accommodations, sightseeing tours, and cultural experiences. Additionally, joint marketing campaigns will be organized in Russia, featuring training seminars, incentive programs, promotional tours, and digital advertising campaigns, leveraging FUN&SUN’s extensive network of more than 600 travel agencies. The strategic goal is to diversify source markets for tourists and increase Qatar’s share in luxury leisure tourism from Russia and the CIS, while supporting the continued growth in visitor numbers during the upcoming winter season.
