DOHA: More than 10 million vehicles have visited The Pearl-Qatar (TPQ) last year with the opening of new outlets, marking an increase in its retail activity.
A pickup in retail activity has been recorded, as witnessed by the number of vehicles entering The Pearl-Qatar. This is tracked through monitoring devices installed at the entrance of the island. From March 9 to April 8, a weekly average of 210,000 vehicles have entered TPQ, and more than 10 million vehicles have visited TPQ in the past year. TPQ has welcomed 25 new retailers — including several hospitality outlets — providing residents and visitors to the island with an exceptional leisure experience. Despite only having passed the first quarter of 2017, a large number of new outlets have established in Porto Arabia, Medina Centrale and Qanat Quartier, reflecting the success of master developer United Development Company (UDC), in attracting businesses to meet the requirements of the island’s residents.
