Oman has announced its ambitious plan to attract one million Indian tourists annually, building on the 700,000 visitors from India in 2024. This initiative highlights the nation’s strategy to strengthen cultural and economic ties with India while diversifying its economy beyond oil revenues under Vision 2040. Recognising India as a priority market, Oman is focusing on high-value tourism segments such as luxury travel, destination weddings, MICE events, and adventure tourism. To support this, Oman has improved visa policies, enhanced air connectivity with major Indian cities, and launched promotional campaigns like ‘Focus Oman,’ showcasing its natural landscapes and cultural heritage.
