Oman Beckons: Successful Partnership Between Ministry and Marriott Draws Indian Travel Agents to Discover the Sultanate

The Ministry of Heritage and Tourism, Sultanate of Oman, in collaboration with the Marriott Group, recently hosted a highly successful promotional trip to Oman. The initiative aimed to highlight Oman’s potential as an ideal destination for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE).

The country’s strategic positioning as an attractive MICE destination is underlined by its world-class facilities, breathtaking landscapes, and rich cultural heritage. Delegates can immerse themselves in Oman’s unique blend of tradition and modernity, providing an enriching and memorable experience.

Oman’s excellent connectivity from India further enhances its appeal. With convenient flight options and seamless travel experiences, Oman positions itself as a hassle-free destination for MICE travellers. The collaboration with Marriott Group, featuring stays at renowned properties such as JW Marriott, Anantara and Jumeirah, showcases the commitment to providing top-notch hospitality, ensuring that every visitor’s stay is both comfortable and memorable.

Mr. Arjun, Country Manager, India, highlighted the substantial increase in the number of travellers, attributing it to Oman’s unmatched appeal as a destination. The cultural affinity, coupled with Oman’s commitment to providing excellent hospitality, has contributed to the growing popularity among Indian tourists, he said.

He further highlighted how Oman is an ideal destination to promote both small and big groups. “With a convention centre boasting of a capacity to accommodate over 5,000 participants, Oman emerges as a compelling choice for event planners and MICE partners,” Arjun said. ‘’We extend a warm invitation to MICE partners, urging all to include Oman on their bucket list of preferred destinations,’’ he added. He also emphasized on the unique opportunities Oman offers for hosting events, conferences, and exhibitions of varying scales.

As Oman continues to position itself as a premier MICE destination, the collaborative efforts of the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism and the Marriott Group signify a commitment to providing exceptional experiences for business and leisure travelers alike.
