In India recently, Asma Al Hajry, Deputy DG of Tourism Promotions, Ministry of Heritage and Tourism, Sultanate of Oman, had expressed confidence that Oman will breach half-a-million mark in Indian visitor arrivals this year. And if the latest Indian visitor arrival figure is anything to go by, Oman looks poised to welcome well over 500,000 Indian travellers before the year ends.
According to the latest figure shared by Oman Tourism India Office, more than 315,000 Indian travellers have already visited the Sultanate in the first six months. This is over 63 per cent of half-a-million mark that Oman has already delivered in the first six month.
