Mark Drakeford, Wales' economy minister Vaughan Gething and four officials were put up for three nights in the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Doha, according to a response to a Freedom of Information (FOI) request submitted by BBC Wales
In the FOI response, the Welsh government said:"A total of eight officials and two ministers travelled to Qatar for the World Cup.
"Accommodation for the two ministers and accompanying four officials was provided by the Qatari government at no cost."A hospitality package was offered by the Qatari government to the heads of state of each country that qualified for the World Cup but the Welsh government does not hold any information about the value of this package."The total cost of four return flights was £3,768.
Welsh Liberal Democrats leader Jane Dodds has suggested the Welsh government should donate the equivalent cost of the trip to human rights charities. Responding to the information revealed through the FOI, the Welsh government added:"This was an opportunity to discuss trade and investment opportunities, meet with members of the Qatar government and the International Labour Organisation to discuss worker rights, and to take part in cultural meetings to strengthen the links between Qatar and Wales.
"The visit also was a chance to share our values on human rights, LGBTQ+ rights, workers' rights and political and religious freedom."
