Qatar Tourism praises the Estithmar programme for retirees insured under
the General Retirement and Social Insurance Authority. Estithmar launched the Retirees’
Programme in appreciation and support for the retirees who have devoted their
lives in service of the state of Qatar.

The programme offers its beneficiaries an array of discounts and
promotions across several of Estithmar’s hospitality and entertainment venues.
It aligns with Qatar’s
continuous efforts to care for retirees and elevate the services provided to
them across all sectors of the country.

Commenting on the programme, His
Excellency, Mr. Saad Bin Ali Al Kharji, Qatar Tourism’s Chairman, said: “We applaud
the generous retirees’ programme launched by Estithmar. It is an extensive programme
covering a large network of Estithmar’s hospitality, F&B and entertainment
establishments as well as discounts and promotional packages for the entire
family to enjoy. Such programmes demonstrate true appreciation for retirees and
their dedicated service to the country. Qatar Tourism would like to take this opportunity
to invite and encourage companies and entities from the private sector to
follow suit”.

For his part, His Excellency Mr.
Ahmed Bin Ali Al Hammadi, Director General of the General Retirement and Social
Security Authority, praised Estithmar Holding for their retirees’ programme and
stressed on the Authority’s keenness to dedicate its institutional and
community initiatives and partnerships to the benefit of retirees, and build
bridges of communication with various sectors interested in their affairs. We
welcome national companies and institutions to support the retirees initiative as
part of their social responsibility programs.

For his part, Engineer Mohammed Bin
Badr Al-Sada, CEO of Estithmar Holding Group, expressed: “This step comes in
response to Qatar Tourism’s call on national companies and institutions to honour
retirees and within the framework of Estithmar Holding’s vision to enhance its
social responsibility. We are honoured to launch this programme to serve
retirees and express our appreciation for their dedication. We at Estithmar
Holding are happy to cooperate with all government bodies to achieve the best
for Qatar and its people.”

Some of the biggest names of
hotels the beneficiaries can enjoy are Katara Hills, Maysan Resort, Double Tree
Downtown, and Al Rayyan Curio. Restaurants and cafés featured in the programme include
Sazeli, Usta, Remman, Basta, El&n, Gahwetna, and Karaki Lounge amongst
others. There is also endless fun for the little ones at Lusail Winter
Wonderland.

It is noteworthy that in 2016, the General Retirement and Social
Security Authority launched a programme for exclusive discounts for retirees,
which included 70 companies at the time, to receive a special welcome from the
community, as it was the first of its kind to provide special benefits and
offers for retirees. The programme now includes companies from various fields,
such as communications, restaurants, hotels, medical services, and various
sectors, surmounting to more than 400 companies.

The beneficiary of the Authority program can obtain a discount programme
card by visiting the Authority’s customer service, or through the government
services centres in the Al Wakra or Al Rayyan branches for elderly services, or
through the self-service devices where the card is issued immediately.

The General Retirement and Social Security Authority has designated
hotline (183) to receive any comments or inquiries from retirees around the
clock.
