“Qatar has a relatively small area of less than 11,500km2 but is expected to welcome more than 12 million people here during the days of the event the biggest football festival on the planet cannot afford to provide accommodation for all visitors.
Many people are forced to move. move to neighboring countries such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Oman or Saudi Arabia... places where you can go to Qatar to watch football and return the same day by plane” representative of a travel agency in Hanoi commented.
Accepting high prices of hundreds of millions of dong in the hope of attending the biggest football event on the planet, some Vietnamese guests said they could not book a tour because there was no more room. or there are only matches that are not as expected.
“Even though there are nearly 2 months until the 2022 World Cup starts, some companies have refused to accept guests. I contacted a few places but couldn’t book a tour. Where there was room, they sold matches that weren’t my favorite team. The tour to see the semi-finals and finals still has tickets but the cost is very high,” Mr. Dao Minh Quan (in Hanoi) expressed his regret.
Many tour operators to watch WC 2022 still open tour sales, but viewing schedules are limited. Hot matches of the group stage such as France – Denmark on November 26 and Spain – Germany on November 28 were booked out early.
Some companies have even “closed their books” A few months ago, the number of visitors per tour was limited.

Vacation Travel Company in Ho Chi Minh City also sold out 15 seats for a 4-day, 3-night tour and watching a match in Ho Chi Minh City. quarterfinals with a package price of 199 million VND.

Although the 2022 World Cup organizers have considered the option of renting two large cruise ships and setting up 1,000 tents in the desert, it is still not expected to be enough to serve the “huge” number of tourists. ” to Qatar during the largest football festival on the planet.

He has been looking for a room in Qatar for a long time and has contacted many friends and acquaintances for support, but still has not found a place to stay.

The male reporter also revealed the current cost of renting a room in Qatar. The highest prices are in areas near stadiums where matches within the 2022 World Cup will take place.
The lowest price for an average room not near the stadium is up to 200 USD/night (about 4 to 6 million VND) but there is no room left. Meanwhile, journalists working at the World Cup have to stay here for a whole month, so the cost of renting a room for many days is very high.
I know that some reporters from other countries are forced to stay in Dubai or go to surrounding countries or rent rooms on the bay. This option takes time to travel and has to pay additional costs, but it is no longer available What other choice?” Mr. An said.
