Hospitality represents a significant and growing industry in the country, with a concentration of major international hotel brands and a number of new hotel openings anticipated in the run-up to the 2022 World Cup. This Guidance Tool is intended to help hotel companies in Qatar promote labour rights and fair recruitment in their business practices as part of wider efforts to strengthen a competitive and responsible hospitality industry. The International Labour Organization (ILO) inaugurated its project office in Qatar in April 2018 to support the implementation of a comprehensive programme on working conditions and labour rights. The Technical Cooperation Programme engages key industries, such as hospitality, and reflects the common commitment of the Government of Qatar and the ILO to cooperate on ensuring compliance with ratified international labour standards, as well as achieving fundamental principles and rights at work in the State of Qatar in a gradual manner during the period 2018–20.
