Oman has a wealth of attractions for tourists from far and near.

Thriving travel companies are going great lengths to ensure a memorable travel experience for their clients.

Thomas Cook, Europe's second-largest travel firm has appointed Net Tours as their tour operator for handling destination tours in Oman.

Net Tours will from the 1st November 2008 take over the handling of Thomas Cook travel business in Oman, including individual leisure travel and group visits.

Be it a round trip of Oman or a combined trip to Dubai and the emirates, a business trip, leisure, golf or a spa holiday, Net Tours meets all requirements.

Clients can also enjoy tailor-made trips to suit different interests.

Net Tours, Oman is located in Muscat, the capital city of Oman.

Combining the best of Muscat, Salalah, Musandam and other tourist attractions in and around Oman, visitors can enjoy a relaxing holiday or a rewarding incentive trip.

Net Tours, Oman caters to leisure travellers as well as corporate and incentive group travel.

A healthy synergy

Net Group Executive Chairman, Mr. Ali Z.A. Abu Monassar said, 'The new partnership stems from a long-standing synergy between Thomas Cook and Net Group, both known for leadership in their respective areas of business.' Net Tours, Dubai has been functioning as the designated tour partner of Thomas Cook in Dubai and Abu Dhabi for many years, and the inclusion of Net Tours, Oman is more than a logical extension, he said.

Welcoming the new business partnership, Mr. Salim Al Masroori, General Manager, Net Tours, Oman said, 'We are proud to be associated with Thomas Cook, and we will offer the best possible support in hotel booking, tours and all related services.' Ms Beatrice Macias, Senior Contracts Manager, Long Haul Division, Thomas Cook AG, appreciated the new development.

Golf and luxury

The United Arab Emirates is grabbing the attention of worldwide golf-lovers, thanks to their fantastic golf courses, said David Milican, Group General Manager, Net Group. Himself an avid golfer, Milican supports Net Golf, the specialized golf tour operator under the Net Group.

'For the first time, starting 1st November 2008, the UAE will be featured in the Thomas Cook Golf brochure,' he remarked. 'Thomas Cook recognizes the potential for golfers to enjoy a break in the Emirates. Including the destination in its winter brochure will help to increase awareness and allow golfers to enjoy the excellent range of courses now available here.'

The new tourism season will also add a touch of class to the UAE round trip enjoyed by Thomas Cook clients.

Starting November 2008, the guests can experience an over night stay in the exotic '1001 Arabian Nights' desert camp in Dubai.

The exclusive campsite boasts a resort-style ambience with sixteen luxuriously appointed rooms sporting Arabian décor and modern comforts.

The campsite also has an exquisitely decorated air-conditioned tent that hosts corporate meetings and events.

This rare desert camp is located on the Hatta-Oman route, about 45 minutes' drive from Dubai.
