Oman’s Ministry of Tourism recently conducted a roadshow in India, meeting the country’s travel trade in four cities.
Events were held in Chennai, Bengaluru, Delhi and Mumbai, and included a series of B2B meetings, networking sessions and evening dinners. Attendees included travel agents, wedding planners, film production houses and the media.
The Omani delegation included representatives from hotels, tour operators and national carrier Oman Air.
Salim Al Mamari, the Ministry’s director general of tourism promotion, commented; “India represents an important and vast market for Oman because of the high percentage of its residents willing to travel and experience new destinations across the world.
“We have over the years increased our operations and entered different cities in India promoting Oman. Tourism is a developing sector in Oman and the tourism infrastructure is expanding tremendously but at a responsible pace without compromising on our culture, heritage and nature.”
Indian visitor arrivals to Oman have increased 36% over the last five years, and exceeded 250,000 in 2014.
And Oman is now targeting two key markets; the Indian wedding sector and film industry, as it bids to attract more Indian visitors to its shores.
