Joury
Joury Tours and Travel, the Doha based travel agency formerly known as Uranus,
is now working with the International Air Travel Association, according to the
company.
While still in its infancy, Joury has made significant headway in this highly
competitive market, and now with the recognition from the IATA, has access to
some 250 airlines, representing approximately 85% of the global travel market.
Speaking with general manager Jack Saba, he said, “Our industry is highly
competitive; in Doha alone, there are over 250 travel agents. We aim to out
perform our competitors by offering an efficient customer experience, as well as
an extensive list of extras including arranging visas for inbound customers, as
well as tours ranging from shopping to desert safaris. In terms of our outbound
clients, London, Paris, Munich and Dubai have all proven to be very popular
destinations.”
Commenting in a separate statement, parent company Urbacon’s managing
director, Ramez Khayyat said, “Despite our new position in the market, we’re
proud of the headway being made by Joury. It is important to note that we’re not
just a ticketing company, but a full service, equipped to deal with a wide range of
clients. Whether you wish to travel by private jet or more economically as a
group, our agents will take all the administrative headaches away from you, and
allow you to concentrate on what to do when you reach your destination.”
While Joury are aware that Qatar’s current focus is geared towards the business
sector, they are also prepared for the increasing usage of retail and as such are
planning the launch of a walk in office for its clients at a date yet to be announced
in 2014.
