DOHA: Qatar MICE (Meetings, Incentive, Conference and Exhibition) Development Institute (QMDI) has signed a strategic partnership of three years with the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters.
The partnership will see both organisations leverage their association and expertise to raise the level of this prestigious tournament, staged in Qatar.
The three way partnership between the Qatar Olympic Committee, the Qatar Golf Association and Commercial Bank has resulted in the tournament making giant strides from its humble beginnings in 1998.

QMDl’s Chairman Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Naser was ecstatic with the partnership.
“This is an exciting time for QMDI. Our expertise in managing Qatar’s biggest MICE industry events is second to none and a partnership with one of the most prestigious sporting events in Qatar is the next step in our evolution.
