Qatar National Tourism Council (QNTC) was recently awarded the ISO 20121 certification for Event Sustainability Management Systems, as well as the ISO 9001:2015 for Quality Management Systems. Both certifications affirm QNTC’s commitment to sustainable practices in all areas of event management. ISO 20121 is an international standard designed to help organizations in the events and hospitality industry integrate sustainability into management practices and processes by specifying requirements that reduce their environmental footprint. It offers guidance to help organizers manage events and control their social, economic, and environmental impact while promoting more responsible consumption. Qatar National Tourism Council Secretary-General and Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, said: “Enshrined in the Qatar National Vision 2030, sustainability has long been of vital importance to Qatar, and our growth and development has been predicated on it. This certification is yet another recognition of QNTC’s ongoing commitment to providing superior quality and effective management while adhering to international best practices. It will instill confidence among partners, as well as current and prospective stakeholders, in our operations and procedures, while supporting our efforts to improve tourism sector services in Qatar.”
