Home or away, tourism is top priority for Oman

A massive tourism push both at home and abroad is ensuring Oman’s future as a holiday destination. 

Staycation deals, faster check-in services and new air travel routes opening up have all been announced to boost tourism both in and out of the Sultanate.

While passengers who have no baggage and are travelling on Oman Air through Muscat International Airport will soon be able to take advantage of  fast-track iPad check-in services, those who wish to travel abroad can now enjoy direct flights to Turkey, through SalamAir.

In addition, those who wish to explore the rugged beauty and unique landscape of Oman can also  benefit from discounts at up to 13 hotels in the country, after Omran, the Sultanate’s national tourism development arm, decided to launch its ‘Within Oman’ campaign to promote the  domestic holiday industry. 

Tourism has been earmarked as one of the major areas for further expansion under the country’s Tanfeedh programme for economic diversification, as Oman aims to move away from traditional oil-and-gas based sources of income, and towards a sustainable non-oil future. Tourism aside, the other high-potential areas for growth are manufacturing, transport and logistics, energy and mining, and agriculture and fisheries.

Oman Air’s move to introduce iPad check-in services to economy class passengers who are travelling with no baggage is intended  to enhance the already seamless experience of Muscat International Airport since the launch of the new passenger terminal.
