Sonakshi Sinha

Qatar is already a well-known destination, but there is an increasing need to publicize the destination's other highlights, which make it popular among all types of travellers, as well as its preparations for hosting the FIFA World Cup 2022.

Qatar Tourism aimed to target Indian travellers in a unique way and reached out to Travel + Leisure India & South Asia for a collaboration. The magazine proposed a cover integration shoot in Doha, with Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha as the ambassador for the campaign.

Solution

The native articles for this campaign were divided into two categories: People and Insights. The first article in the People category went behind the scenes of Sonakshi's cover shoot, while the Letter from the Editor by Travel + Leisure India & South Asia Editor-in-Chief Aindrila Mitra discussed what to expect in the September special Wildlife Issue and Sonakshi Sinha's experience in Doha.

The result was a comprehensive print feature and cover, videos, and digital-exclusive articles that showcased the beauty of Qatar as a travel destination.

Achievement

Through this collaboration, Travel + Leisure India & South Asia was able to achieve a reach of 32,91,515 and engagement of 99,739.
