The Ministry of Tourism in Oman has announced that it has set up a representative office in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia that will tap the Kingdom’s major outbound market in the GCC region.
The average spending of Saudi tourists overseas ranks highest in the world. Another key factor is the preference of Saudi travelers to take trips as a large family group. The Ministry’s new office will improve destination brand awareness among Saudi nationals and secure more participation in major local tourism and travel exhibitions.
The Riyadh office will directly report to the Dubai office of Oman’s Ministry of Tourism and will take charge of planning for KSA-targeted yearly marketing and activities.
“Our new office paves way for more solid joint sales and marketing ventures between Omani and Saudi interests,” said Her Excellency Maitha Al Mahrouqi, undersecretary, Oman Ministry of Tourism.
