September 15, 2015 – The Oman Ministry of Tourism has organized an interactive event as part of the Ministry’s active efforts to strengthen Oman’s position as a premiere travel destination in the GCC and beyond.

We know for sure 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.”
