Given the wave of tourists expected from the start of the 2022 World Cup, the Qatar Organizing Committee threw a web so that anyone who travels there during the competition gets cheap accommodationwhat are they going from 3 star hotels to camping in the middle of the desert.
The measure was announced before the saturation of hotel rooms for the reservations that were made for the period in which the tournament will be played, between November 21 and December 18, and before the high rental costs for the level of luxury of the facilities.
In order for visitors to have a chance at cheaper accommodation, the organization devised four alternatives:
- hotels of 3 star
- Cruise ships anchored in the Arabian Gulf
- Departments temporary rental
- The most striking: the so-called “Fan Towns”which consist of camping in the middle of the desert
What are the prices of the cheapest accommodation
Qatar plans to receive more than 1 million people During those 28 days and given the sure possibility that this estimate will fall short, he signed accommodation agreements to guarantee affordable prices that they are an option against the millionaire rates of the large hotel chains.
In this way, with the launch of the digital portal qatar2022.qa/book, the organization will make available some 130 thousand seats at different costs.
For example, an apartment with basic services (with Wi-Fi and cleaning service) will be around $84 per day. The ships, which are two cruises reserved entirely for fans, will offer options from $340 a day.
“It is important that fans visit the accommodation portal after booking their tickets. There will be other ways to reserve your accommodation, but if you want the cheapest options, that’s where you can find them”, affirmed the head of the Organizing Committee, Nasser Al Khater.
The businessman admitted thatthere have been increases in accommodation prices in previous tournaments to take advantage of fans who already bought tickets. And this is something we want to avoid at this World Cup in Qatar,” he acknowledged.
