Oman Rich in Beauty and History

Oman appears to face an absolutely promising future. Usama bin Karim Al Haremi of Oman Air’s Corporate Communications and Media said that with its natural beauty and glorious history Oman seems destined to become a top tourist destination. The sultanate has embarked on a progressive programme to diversify its economy away from oil and gas by focusing on the diversification of the economy, omanisation of the workforce and internationalisation of business. The government recognizes that shrewd investment in tourism and real estate will leave an enduring legacy, and tourism in particular forms a major pillar of its Vision 2020 program.

Al Haremi added: Tourism in the Sultanate has been ever increasing at a steady rate, as visitor numbers and international interest keeps growing. "Oman wants to target mainly high-quality tourism to preserve its culture and reputation as a quality destination. Likewise, real estate is on the verge of exploding, as carefully planned new developments make the Sultanate growingly desirable to foreign visitors and investors alike. Indeed, significant steps have been taken to attract investment and foreign companies to the sector,” Al Haremi affirmed.

Al Haremi further brought to notice that Claire Bryant, a luxury holiday expert and experienced travel consultant, had recently visited the Sultanate and went back from Oman enchanted by her Arabian holiday. She writes:
"Oman has the most up-and-coming tourism industry in the Gulf, and more and more people are booking Oman holidays. It is in a prime location to develop its already budding tourism industry, and it is in an economic position to do so. With new facilities and resorts being developed, it is a perfect time to book an Oman luxury holiday.
