As part of the strategic plan to strengthen Oman’s position as a premier travel destination in the GCC and beyond, the Ministry of Tourism said Tuesday it organized an interactive event in Qatar to showcase the range of tourist activities in Oman.
During the event, a special booth highlighted the sultanate’s culture and history by exhibiting several ancient artifacts, playing classic Omani music and providing visitors with a delicious sampling of genuine Omani culinary treats.
In the past few months, Oman has experienced an increase in the number of tourist from Gulf region and other countries. The ministry aims to raise more awareness among Qatari residents by providing an interactive environment.
“We hold this interactive event to effectively promote Oman as a leading tourist destination across the region,” Director General of Tourism Promotion Salim Bin Adey Al Mamari said. “ We know that the GCC is an important market for us and we aim to strengthen our partnerships with our neighboring countries through events that celebrate the authentic experience that Oman has to offer. We also plan to improve our business relations with Qatar’s travel agencies in order to boost the number of Qatari visitors to Oman.”
