A budget of 500,000 Qar has been allocated for the project.

Plan is to pilot the route with 1 Karwa open top double-decker

sightseeing bus, another bus to be added post –pilot phase.

Costs associated with recruiting, training, and paying

operational crews will be calculated during the Pilot run for 2

quarters.

Marketing, advertising, and public relations costs, including the

cost of setting tour information booth and making sales and

reservations, and related marketing, as well as conventional

print and broadcast advertising, and public relations activities

are included within budget.

Discussions with Qatar Tourism Authority for sponsorship /

partnership are ongoing.

Two sight seeing tours have been conducted for mapping the

route and feasibility study .

One of them being with an established sight-seeing tour

operator running the sightseeing tour business in Qatar.

Keys to Success:

In descending order of importance, the five critical keys to success for Sight

seeing Tour Bus service are:

Employing an experienced, highly professional management team that

combines vision; realism; financial ability; solid knowledge of the Doha

tour/sightseeing market; familiarity with, and belief in the utilization and

benefits of the latest informational technologies.-Project Team

Intelligent, progressive, and aggressive marketing that identifies the

company as a different kind of player, one that is sharper and smarter,

with a higher level of professionalism and operational standards than any

of the existing tour operators in Qatar. -SBD

Concentration on safety, with highly trained, dedicated, and professional

personnel, caring for the customer and the customer's needs and

straightforward, understandable fare pricing will form key pillars of the

marketing strategy.- HR / SBD

Identification, through careful market research, of unserved or under-

served routes in the city that may be of interest to our customers and

enable high load factors and profitable operations. - SBD

Use of open top-style doubledecker buses that offer an unobstructed

view of the city from the top deck and offer a high level of comfort, safety,

and fuel and operational efficiency. – KSU

Use of information technology to reduce staffing and other operational

cost; expand the potential market base; readily capture sales

opportunities; and enhance customer convenience and satisfaction. -ITC
