General Tax Authority Promotes Healthy Awareness Among Children at the Qatar Toy Festival

The General Tax Authority (GTA), in collaboration with Visit Qatar participated in the Summer Camp held at the Qatar Toy Festival 2026 as part of Visit Qatar’s "Hala Summer" campaign. The initiative aimed to provide children with an engaging edutainment experience that combines learning with interactive activities while promoting healthy habits in an enjoyable and accessible way.

As part of its participation, the Authority delivered an interactive activity highlighting the importance of reducing sugar consumption and introducing children to the concept of the excise tax on sugar-sweetened drinks. Through a range of educational games and activities tailored to different age groups, children were encouraged to make healthier dietary choices.

The activity featured a variety of games and hands-on experiences that helped children distinguish between healthy and unhealthy options, while demonstrating the impact of excessive sugar consumption on energy levels and overall health. The initiative sought to reinforce the importance of adopting healthy lifestyle habits from an early age.

The Qatar Toy Festival is one of Qatar's premier summer events, offering a diverse lineup of live performances, interactive experiences, and family-oriented activities. The festival provides an ideal platform for fostering collaboration between national entities and delivering community initiatives with a meaningful social impact.

This participation reflects the collaboration between the General Tax Authority and Visit Qatar in supporting national initiatives that combine education with entertainment. It also underscores the Authority's commitment to promoting social responsibility, raising public health awareness, and delivering innovative educational messages that help instill healthy habits in children and encourage them to make healthier choices.
