The ministry says that the Indian tourist flow to the Sultanate has been highest in the past 15 years
Indian visitors travelling to the Sultanate of Oman registered a new high of 63,492 arrivals in April, says the Oman Ministry of Heritage and Tourism in a press statement.
According to the ministry, the Indian tourist flow to the Sultanate has been highest in the past 15 years. In January, Indian arrivals were 38,279 more than the pre-covid figures of 29,094. The ministry adds that to further enhance its presence in the Indian market, Oman Tourism will expand its promotional efforts through collaborative efforts, sales missions, FAM trips, and roadshows.
“The stupendous growth in the number of Indian travellers to Oman in April is a delight. Following the mammoth rise in Indian tourist flow in April this year against the same period last year, we are optimistic that Oman will become a preferred travel destination for Indian tourists,” says Arjun Chadha, Country Manager, Oman Tourism India office.
Oman, renowned for its hospitality, breathtaking landscapes, and rich history, has unparalleled attractions, which, combined with the efforts of the Ministry and its partners, have culminated in the extraordinary influx of Indian tourists in April, he added.
The statement says that apart from investments in marketing tourism, Oman Tourism has carried out activities such as organising roadshows in five cities and a four-city sales mission in India to jointly advertise and promote travel through various media outlets.
Oman Tourism also hosted sales missions in cities such as Kochi, Hyderabad and Kolkata recently, which was attended by the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism (MHT) Head office, Muscat. The ministry met more than 70 trade partners at the time, which received a positive response. It adds that the boom in Indian visitors to Oman can be ascribed to several elements, including its world-class infrastructure, stunning natural surroundings, and rich cultural legacy.
