The results of QTM 2023 thrilled Rawad Sleem, Co-Founder and General Manager of NeXTfairs for Exhibitions and Conferences. The event, which drew over 9,000 people, showed a dedication to both excellence and breaking new ground. Supported by H E Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Qassim Al Abdullah Al Thani, Minister of Commerce and Industry, and attended by H E Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, QTM received a lot of praise and recognition for its contribution to the development of Qatar's tourism sector.

A celebration of achievement in the travel sector took place at the Raffles Hotel's Grand Gala Dinner, where prizes were given to deserving honorees. Awarded for their contributions were Malta, Turkiye, Mowasalat, Katara Hospitality, Qatar Tourism, Saudi Tourism Authority, and Ezdan Palace Hotel. The QTM experience was enhanced by the Global Village and Cultural Showcase, which included exhibits from 25 embassies. As QTM looks ahead to its third edition, which is set for November 25–27, 2024, excitement is growing for an occasion that seeks to uphold Qatar's position as a leading travel and tourism destination while also supporting the country's social and economic advancement and being in line with its National Vision 2030.
