The Embassy of Haiti to Qatar was honored to make its debut at two leading exhibitions, "Hospitality Qatar" and "Qatar Travel Mart" (QTM 2021), which were both held in November at the Center d exhibition and congress in Doha (capital of Qatar).

At "Hospitality Qatar", the leading international hotel and hotel trade fair, catering and cafes (horeca), Haiti was present with 13 other countries and 178 exhibitors. The Haiti booth was well visited and the many visitors were greeted with a hot cup of "Chokola Peyi" and Haiti's first cup of coffee.

"It was delightful to watch convention-goers take their first sip of our Chokola Peyi; people were shocked to see how decadent it really is. One of the great highlights was the overwhelming response from hotels and restaurants who showed interest in serving our hot chocolate at their venue, which is exactly why we were thrilled to take part in this event to give Haiti the platform it deserves to showcase its great export potentialn" estimates Haitian Ambassador François Guillaume.

The promotion of Haitian culture also brought many cigar aficionados to the display table to take a look at "Bohekio" cigars, one of the cigar makers of Haiti.

During the second QTM 2021 show "Haiti was among some of the world’s most sought-after travel destinations. As a touristic highlight, the Citadelle and several artisanal creations that Haiti is internationally known for were on full display before QTM visitors, [...] With Haiti being in world news for many overshadowing circumstances, it was necessary to remind visitors that the country also offers a beautiful side and a rich history that surpasses all of her current obstacles, which many people enjoyed learning through our electronic catalogues," said Ambassador Guillaume.

He added, "s a continued participant in events such as these, the Embassy of Haiti to Qatar thrives to place Haiti on a cultural pedestal to ensure that bilateral relations between Haiti and Qatar continue to flourish in the hopes of introducing Haiti to those who have yet to discover her full grace and beauty."
