Oman has recently launched an innovative initiative aimed at transforming its tourism sector into a sustainable model.
The Ministry of Heritage and Tourism has outlined plans to promote eco-friendly travel options and protect the rich cultural heritage of the Sultanate.
This initiative is part of a broader strategy to diversify the economy and reduce reliance on oil revenues.
The project focuses on developing eco-resorts that respect local environments and cultures.
These resorts will not only provide tourists with unique experiences but will also create jobs for local communities.
By integrating traditional Omani architecture and sustainable practices, Oman aims to showcase its natural beauty while preserving its heritage.
To support this initiative, the government is investing in infrastructure improvements, including better access to remote areas known for their breathtaking landscapes.
The aim is to attract a new demographic of environmentally-conscious travelers who seek authentic cultural experiences.
Experts believe that this move could position Oman as a leading destination for sustainable tourism in the Middle East, attracting international attention and boosting local economies.
