Oman tourism focuses on culture
- Oman: Wednesday, July 23 - 2008 at 07:40
Oman is marketing itself as an upmarket tourist destination with a focus on culture and adventure, in contrast to the more commercial offerings of its immediate neighbours, reported the UK's Financial Times. The sultanate is building museums in some of its 500 ancient forts and plans to turn a mountain village in an undeveloped region into hotel apartments as part of a project that will highlight the traditions of rural Arabian culture. Tourism currently accounts for little more than 1% of Oman's gross domestic product. The government is targeting 3% by 2015.
