“The Sultanate is a diverse and rich nation with so much to offer discerning Qatari tourists. Oman, particularly Salalah, provides visitors with world-class tourism experiences that are unique to our country. Our roadshow was launched to acquaint Qatari citizens with Oman’s tourist spots so that we can encourage them further to visit and explore the beauty of the Sultanate. We have many exciting things to offer to all types of travelers all year round so we hope that they will make Oman part of their travel plans.  Through our roadshows in Qatar and other Gulf countries, we are confident that we are making a quantum leap in our efforts to draw 11 million visitors to Oman by 2040. We reiterate our commitment to further promote the local tourism industry and make the Sultanate globally competitive,” said Haitham Al Ghassani, Assistant Director General of Promotion for Events & Tourism Awareness. qatar tourism qatar tourism
