In addition to progressive developments in its labour laws Qatar also needs areas of entertainment - life outside work.

I do wish that the Government develops some entertainment areas in the industrial area specifically for the thousands of labourers who come to the country. This would atleast give them some options rather than visit malls like villagio etc where they would not be allowed entry. I’m sure budget shops would love setting up their base there. Cumulatively this is a huge buying force – albeit for budget buys.

For the rest Qatar would need the following. This is my earlier post in response to a need for a water park

Why stop at water parks...qatar needs more of everything entertaining in nature...
1.Water theme parks (even bahrain has one now, Dubai’s go wild wadi)
2.Spas (not the ones attached to the hotels)
3.Beach resorts
4.Go karting circuits
5.more movie theaters (since it is a nightmare now to reach city center on the weekends)
6.Competition to QDC (besides allowable to be brought into qatar from the duty free - as other "normal" GCC states do.
7.More clubs
8.Shesha places
9.Dance bars (nothing wrong with this - they ain't strip bars) – besides it would save a lot of gas with Mr.Landcruisers always ending up in Bahrain for the weekends
