Omani Tourism showcase the stunning jewel of the Gulf

Oman. A place of amazing wonders with over 5000 years of mystery and culture to thrill any traveller. It is truly the place where fantastical tales of the exotic are created and, as Air Marketing executive Bill McNamara said: “it is a place with the friendliest and most beautiful people in the world.”

It is because of this beauty and depth in culture that Oman has grown exponentially as a top tourist destination in the past decade. The Arabian state sits between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Arabian Sea, adding to its potential for growth in the industry. As McNamara commented: “Twenty years ago, no one knew where Arabia was.” Today, travellers looking for an exotic destination walk into travel agents and request more information on Oman.

This growing demand for travel to the region prompted the Omani Ministry of Tourism to investigate the best ways to increase travel to the region in the coming years. It is hoped that tourism numbers to Oman will triple by 2010.
