Qatars World Cup tourism gamble

Will a boost in visitors for the Qatar World Cup lead to more visitors in the long run?
Qatar has spent over $220bn on preparations for the football World Cup, and there are hopes the tournament will draw visitors for years to come.
We take a tour of Doha, looking at the dow boats and some of the common tourist sites that fans will experience, and hear from Berthold Trenkel, COO of Visit Qatar.
We also hear from economists who think the strategy of hosting a \\u201cmega-event\\u201d such as this can be a gamble.
Plus Oman Air, which is going to be putting on dozens of extra flights so that fans can commute in for matches, tell us how that matches up with a \\u2018climate friendly\\u2019 World Cup.
