Introduction
Sustainability in development of tourism is the process of fulfilling the needs
of the tourists along with enhancing the protection and survival of the
tourist destination for future. Qatar is one of the fastest developing
country which is giving more emphasis on development and
enhancement of tourist infrastructure. The tourism in the country
requires support from the government to protect and conserve the local
tourist sites with the help of local community so that in long term, it
would be able to generate more employment opportunities as well as
revenues. Furthermore, they would be able to conserve these tourist
destinations which would in turn help them to develop sustainably.

tourism in Qatar is to make optimal utilization of natural
resources without compromising the socio-cultural aspect
of the country and thus ensuring its long-term economic
prosperity. To justify the concept of sustainable
development in Qatar, Triple bottom line theory could be
