Qatari visitation & stay patterns
Strategy reframed
How Qatari residents' stay patterns in KSA can inform a development strategy
Situation
A developer asked for a study on Qatari visitation and migration into KSA. Understanding behavior was critical to the development strategy.
Approach
- Mobility analysis across key Saudi cities, Subject city benchmarked vs other cities
- Stay durations, travel patterns, multi-city flows - transit vs long visits
- Accommodation and POI assessment to map demand drivers
Impact
- Insight: Qatari demand not strong enough as a core audience
- Recommendation to focus on domestic demand pools
- Strategic pivot grounded in real visitation data
