This came at the end of its successful participation at the Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2019, with the Oman pavilion experiencing powerful attendance and interest from visitors who showed their respect for leisure opportunities in the diverse natural, geographical and historical sites in sultanate; reflecting the heritage and authenticity of the Omani culture.
The Ministry of Tourism, headed by Salem Adi Al Mamari, director general of Tourism Promotion, led a high-profile team with 24 government entities, hotels and tourism service providers. The main target was to endorse the sector and eventually grow the number of regional and international visitors in line with Oman Tourism Strategy 2040, which aims to welcome 11 million domestic and global tourists.
To quote Al Mamari, “Our efforts at this year’s ATM effectively highlighted the touristic attractions within the sultanate, especially the areas with moderate temperatures during the summer that are a hub for tourists coming from the GCC countries. We were delighted with the high interest in visitors who were eager to explore what we had to offer. We attracted thousands of visitors to the Oman pavilion to detail the activities, programs and events designed for future tourists. The last few years have seen transformative progress in the Sultanate, and we look forward to the future with great anticipation.”
