The Oman Ministry of Tourism will be celebrating the 10th
Anniversary of its UK Office along with the destination’s many achievements
over the period at this year’s World Travel Market (stand number ME500). Oman increased
its visitor numbers in 2012 alone by 15% and consistently increased visitor
figures from 25,000 to 121,000 from 2003 to 2012.
Alison Cryer, Director UK and Ireland Oman Ministry of Tourism MBR
Office, says “we are delighted to celebrate our tenth anniversary and look back
at all the growth that has been achieved over the last ten years”. She added “
we are now looking forward to the future and actively pursuing growth in the
destination’s appeal particularly for niche markets including garden tours,
bird watching, diving and sailing, kite surfing, climbing, trekking, touring,
luxury travel, cruising, and MICE.”
His Excellency the Minister of Tourism, Ahmed Al Mahrizi along with a
delegation from the Oman Ministry of Tourism and 22 companies from the private
sector will be travelling from Oman to WTM. The Oman Ministry of Tourism UK
team will also be available throughout WTM including newly appointed Travel Trade
Manager Suzanne Halil and Marketing Assistant Nitisha Bhogal.
The Oman Ministry of Tourism is the proud sponsor of the World
Responsible Tourism Awards and we will be talking at length about the
destination's sustainable tourism offerings. Representatives will take World
Travel Market as an opportunity to promote Oman
The Oman stand will be the ideal spot for WTM visitors to take a short
deserved break during the show where Omani coffee and dates will be served in
true Omani style, and branded gifts will be given away such as I-Wipeys.
