Except with the very strong motivation of attending a football World Cup match. The event, organised by FIFA, will take place from <strong>21 November to 18 December<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This will not be easy, as it already seems that <strong>reception facilities reaching saturation point<\/strong>. Whereas <strong>Qatar Airways announces flight cancellations<\/strong> to reallocate them to destinations where football fans will be the most numerous.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #a71f31\">Temporary suspension of flights and shuttles to surrounding towns<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Akbar al-Baker, the company's CEO, has just indicated that <strong>15 to 20 destinations should be affected<\/strong>. Until now, according to the Qatar Airways website, the three daily flights from <strong>Paris CDG<\/strong> are maintained. The measure will apply to flights to <strong>secondary destinations<\/strong>. But we are awaiting further details from the company.<\/p>\n<p>Qatar is expecting to welcome <strong>1.2 million visitors<\/strong> during the FIFA tournament. However, many regional visitors will only come for the day. Qatar is encouraging airlines from neighbouring cities to set up air bridges. <strong>The kingdom hopes to see some 180 additional flights a day.<\/strong>. Shuttles could link Doha to Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Dammam, Dubai, Riyadh and Sharjah during the World Cup.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #a71f31\">Accommodation solutions do exist, but at what price?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>The most sensitive point is likely to be accommodation<\/strong>. Even if the country is doing its utmost to meet this challenge. During a briefing, Omar al-Jaber, who is responsible for accommodation for the World Cup at the Supreme Committee for Delivery &amp; Legacy (SC-authority in charge of FIFA coordination), indicated that <strong>80% of the 30,000 rooms available were already reserved for official delegations and FIFA guests<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If you look at the online hotel booking sites, they already indicate that there is no availability between 20 November and 19 December.<\/p>\n<p>However, according to Reuters, FIFA will be releasing the rooms that teams, referees, media and other officials will no longer need as the tournaments progress.<\/p>\n<p>For its part, the<strong> Qatar is increasing its range of non-hotel accommodation.<\/strong> According to the local media, <strong>two cruise ships to dock in the port of Doha<\/strong>. <strong>Villas and private flats for shared use would provide at least 69,000 rooms<\/strong>. Their management is entrusted to the <strong>Accor<\/strong>. A management agreement was signed last October between the country and the French accommodation giant. Accor is training staff to look after guests in these private housing units.<\/p>\n<p>Omar al-Jaber also indicated that <strong>temporary prefabricated villages<\/strong> must be installed on empty plots of land, as well as a<strong> thousand tents<\/strong> in the desert. 200 of these would be luxury tents offering true Bedouin hospitality. The head of accommodation reassured the press that there should be <strong>more than 100,000 rooms available<\/strong>. But at prices that are probably prohibitive.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #a71f31\">Exemplary behaviour<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Finally, Qatar reminded us what it is: a strict country that does not joke about misbehaviour. <strong>The country will punish potential one-night stands. Just like drunken evenings<\/strong>. A police source told newspapers that \".\u00a0<em>For the first time in the history of the World Cup, a ban on sexual relations [editor's note: outside married couples] is in force. The culture of drinking and partying after matches, which is the norm in most places, will also be strictly prohibited. Fans must be prepared<\/em>\" .<\/p>\n<p>Anyone found guilty of failing to comply with the rules laid down by the country's administration could be sentenced to a fine of <strong>prison sentence of up to 7 years<\/strong>.
