A great summary of where we are - the turbulence of the post WC seems to be settling although still so many venues chasing a diminishing market with, as you say, still some high profile hotels to open. Great idea about the Restaurant Week, Newcastle upon Tyne in NE England have had a longstanding one in January each year to drive trade in a quieter time and a Doha one could be a valuable step forward - keep up the good work!
That you - I think we needed to kind of set a baseline for where we are. Restaurant Week for me is a no-brainer, we just need to get the right people on board!

Insightful and well-considered. Let's hope your good ideas are noted and, to the extent possible, tried.
Thanks so much - we have come so far but still a ways to go
