Salim Adi Al Mamari, Director General for Tourism Promotion for Ministry of Tourism, said, “JATA Tourism Expo is a wonderful platform to discuss global tourism and benefits from the discussions with professionals who have gathered from all over the world.
Japan has all the potential to be a crucial tourism market for Oman and the visit gave us a better understanding of the Japan tourism market and preferences of the Japanese travellers.
Our meetings with the local tour operators were very positive and we will most certainly use their expertise to our advantage in promoting Oman as a destination of choice.”
