(Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy) The latest report shows that in the 17 days since the World Cup was held, 765,859 tourists have been received, and now more than half of the tourists have left the country. Since there are only 8 games left in the World Cup, there will be a surge in tourists in the future. The possibility is unlikely, and it may be lower than Qatar's pre-match projections that hosting the World Cup can attract 1.2 million tourists.

The report pointed out that the number of international tourists was less than expected. Although the serious traffic jam problem in Qatar was avoided, there was also a surplus of accommodation facilities; Sales are not as expected.

A Qatari official said: "There is still more than a week before the end of the World Cup, and a wave of new tourists has begun to arrive from the countries that have entered the quarter-finals." Qatar has also canceled entry restrictions on nationals and residents of other Gulf countries. Many tourists entered Qatar to watch the game.
