Award-winning Oman At the World Travel Awards 2019, hosted in Muscat, Oman received an amazing 16 awards, with Oman Airports picking up three, including the Middle East’s Leading Airport award and the World’s Leading Airport Operator. Oman Vision 2040 The government of Oman’s Vision 2040, presided over by His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tariq, sets out an agenda for economic diversification that prioritises scientific research, social protection and environmental sustainability, among others. The agenda aims to double the Sultanate’s per capita GDP, bolster economic growth, strengthen national youth development and secure varied, long-term, reliable sources of national income. Invest Easy In 2015, the government consolidated all businesses under sector development companies, setting a new level for Omani business and a new value for ventures with a one-stop-shop. Now, Oman is working towards digitalisation so that people can open up in the Sultanate from abroad. With Invest Easy, and tailored baskets of incentives for each development sector, investing in Oman is a very attractive proposition. According to the United Nation’s Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) 2019 World Investment Report, the FDI inflow into the country reached USD 4.1 billion in 2018, up from USD 2.9 billion the previous year.

Convention Bureau “We do things a little differently here, you won’t find a menu of one size fits all services; we offer a bespoke, tailor-made service to fit each customer’s needs. We foster links, bring people together, find partners in industry, help with cultural programmes and add value wherever we can. We work closely with other stakeholders including the OCEC and Oman Air as Team Oman, to create a fantastic experience for the organiser. We make an experience from an event.” Khalid Al Zadjali, Director of the Oman Convention Bureau
