The rankings were based on a variety of parameters, including international openness, business environment, health and hygiene, ground and port infrastructure, to name a few. Simultaneously, Qatar was ranked second for safety and security and third for having a supportive business environment. When one considers tourism in Qatar, especially in light of the National Vision, it becomes quickly clear that Qatar is not necessarily a tourist destination, rather it is a cultural destination. Every year, it runs a cultural exchange programme that serves as a bridge between Qatar and an international audience. Through a variety of exhibitions, festivals, competitions and events, Qatar promotes mutual understanding, recognition and appreciation between countries across the globe. Stephanie Akkaoui Hughes in her article ‘On a Cultural Safari’ (Page 31) states that every visit to Qatar, whatever its original purpose, naturally morphs into what can be called a cultural safari.
