The Moodie Davitt Report Founder & Chairman Martin Moodie said: “I am thrilled about the launch of Airport Wonders of the World, the career culmination for me of a long-time passion for airports. Airports are crossroads of humanity that have no cultural, religious, gender or class barriers.

“At their best, they are places of architectural wonder; homes to amazing shopping and dining experiences; and expressions of place, taste and tradition.

“Where better to start such a series than Hamad International Airport, a national gateway that so triumphantly embraces Qatar’s cultural and commercial identity and greets local and foreign travellers as treasured guests through an astonishingly wide array of commercial and consumer services?”
