Qatar
You would be forgiven for thinking that Qatar isn’t amongst the wealthiest countries in the world. 50years ago, this country wasn’t in the picture. There were no schools, and its fishing industry was very small. However, all of these have changed today as it is one of the largest crude oil exporting countries in the world. Due to its feasible long-term plans, it has become a major center for tourist attractions.
Its prosperity can be traced to 1997, when it began exporting oil to Spain and Japan. Apart from crude oil, its banking and construction sectors are amongst the strongest. It has also created employment opportunities for its population of 2,899,617 people.
