Oman Travel Mart, in its 6th successive year, is a must attend annual event which presents a diverse range of destinations to Omani travelers. OTM provides an excellent opportunity for the global travel & tourism industry to meet, network, negotiate & conduct business at one of the fastest growing markets in the Middle East.

Oman’s outbound tourism market is growing at an unprecedented & continuous pace, boosted by the recent growth in the country’s economy. With the rising number of the high income class with expendable income to spend on business and leisure travel around the world, the outlook has become more lucrative.

 
Oman’s Travel & Tourism Industry poised for further growth

The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) has ranked Oman’s tourism economy among the fastest growing in the world. According to WTTC, Oman’s travel & tourism industry is all set for an annual real growth rate of 5% over the next 10 years.

WTTC has identified the Sultanate as a country with great tourism potential, pointing out that OR2.49 billion, around 7.1 percent of the DGP, will be pumped into the travel and tourism industry during the 2009-2018 period. With the expected increase in the number of visitors (at least 5% annually) during this period, the Sultanate will create about 104,000 job opportunities. The travel industry will grow by 13.8% and the expenditure is expected to hit RO 54.7 million annually.
