After the Qatar World Cup group stage, the knockout rounds are in full swing, attracting fans from all over the world to cheer for their favorite teams. According to the statistics of the organizers, Qatar has received more than 765,000 tourists since the opening of this year's tournament, but the number seems to be lower than the authorities expected.
As the host of this year's World Cup, the Qatari authorities originally expected to attract more than 1.2 million tourists to the city during the final week, with the period from November 24 to 28, when the group stage matches were at their peak, being regarded as the peak period for foreign tourists to visit the city. However, as the tournament enters the knockout stage, many teams that have been eliminated from the tournament, as well as their supporters, have already left Qatar. Preliminary statistics show that more than half of the more than 765,000 tourists who have visited Qatar so far have already left, and the number of tourists is expected by the authorities to be low, resulting in an oversupply of accommodation.
