Employees from Katara Hospitality in Doha participated in a special walkathon at the Pearl-Qatar yesterday in celebration of the fourth National Sport Day.
Organised by Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA) & United Development Company (UDC), the walkathon saw participation from Qatar’s most prominent hotels, hospitality organisations and other players in the local tourism sector. More than 50 employees from Katara Hospitality joined the walk wearing co-branded sports attire and carrying flags and banners.
“Dedicated to promoting fitness and healthy living among its residents, Qatar is one of the few countries to actually assign a day for sports and physical activity,” said Hamad Abdulla Al Mulla, CEO and Board member at Katara Hospitality. “As Qatar’s flagship hospitality organisation deeply committed to the welfare of the local people, Katara Hospitality participates in a number of community events and activities such as the National Sport Day.”
“I really enjoyed the opportunity to spend some outdoor quality time with my colleagues,” said Marko Hytonen, Corporate Director - Asset Management Special Projects, Operations at Katara Hospitality. “The walkathon and sporting tournaments allowed us to take a break from our busy work routines and kick start a healthy lifestyle which is essential to boosting our professional productivity.”
