Doha: Work on the iconic hotel in the Gewan Island, a stunning tourists attraction in Qatar will be completed by 2024 and building by end of 2023 said President, Chief Executive Officer and Member of the Board at UDC, Ibrahim Jassim Al Othman, inaugurating the spectacular golf course at the Gewan Island adjacent to the breath-taking The Pearl–Qatar yesterday.
Residents to the hotel will start moving in by end of 2023 according to Al Othman.
The inauguration of the Corinthia Golf Club marks a key milestone in Qatar’s tourism landscape. The golf course will be operational for all business personnel, spectators and it will be ideal for families, amateurs and professionals, Al Othman said adding that the location will be excellent for anyone to spend leisure time going around the area which will be an opportunity to relax and unwind oneself.
He said surrounded by the Gewan Island by one side and the hotel on the other adds value to the location. The beauty of the area is amazing and it offers fresh breath and space for visitors to the area.
The golf course is a new offering that adds value to Gewan Island and the hotel. It is the first time a golf course is added to the island where no such development is found in the world and this would benefit investors to the location and the Gewan Island.
On the number of visitors to the location he said there is a sharp increase in the number of visitors to The Pearl Qatar and the Gewan Island daily and there is an increase of activities in the area let alone the traffic.
The promotion of The Pearl-Qatar and Gewan Island across all channels is a boost for visitor attraction to the area.
The Gewan Development, a part of the UDC’s five year strategy comprises investments to the tune of around QR5bn of which roughly QR2.5bn is for Gewan Island.
United Development Company (UDC), the master developer of The Pearl and Gewan islands, said that nearly 90 million vehicles entered The Pearl Island since 2016.
According to 2021 figures, this constitutes an increase of 77 percent compared to the vehicle influx in 2016, while UDC is expecting to receive a significant 19 million vehicles by end of 2022 based on traffic data collected thus far.
