The
Journey
Simran Group
of Companies Tourism Enterprise
(SITE) is one of the fastest growing companies
in the Oman tourist industry. With its clear
strategy and vision for the tourism sector
in Oman, SITE is all set to take off as
the partner of choice for tourism operations,
activities, representations and promotions
in the Sultanate. SITE’s in-depth
expertise and extensive regional experience
in sustainable tourism and eco-tourism also
make it the ideal contact in the Oman market
for global investors and developers.
Paradise
Regained…
Over the millennia Oman became a convenient
and natural stopover for seafarers and traders.
For today’s travellers too, the Sultanate
of Oman represents a veritable treasure
trove of unexplored riches in terms of history,
culture and natural wonders - just waiting
to be discovered!
This
magically diverse holiday destination is
blessed with some 1,700km of unspoilt beaches,
exotic marine life and stunning rugged mountain
ranges that act as the perfect backgrounds
to its forts and historical sites. Adding
to the allure is the unpolluted environment
and relaxed pace of life, in comparison
to other Arabian Gulf destinations.
Oman
also offers a wide variety of leisure and
adventure holiday options - including the
modern setting of Muscat City (Arab Cultural
Capital in 2006), the sifting dunes of the
Sharqiyah region, the dramatic beauty of
the Hajar Mountains, the fjord-ringed Musandam
region, and the verdant grace of Salalah.
Added to the bounties of the land are the
warm and friendly Omani people who are equally
famed for their renowned hospitality, as
well as, their proud Arabian tradition.
Over The Horizon…
Oman is witnessing accelerated all-round
development in line with the government’s
policy to diversify the economy from petroleum-based
to non-petroleum-based revenues. Oman is
steadily gaining its rightful place on the
global tourism itinerary - and is gearing
up for a massive influx of travellers in
the coming years.
In
2004, tourism generated approximately USD
3.5 billion in economic activity, which
is expected to double over the next decade.
And the number of hotel rooms in the country
is set to double from 6,000 today, to over
10,000 in 2010.
There
are already several very high profile tourism-related
projects worth over USD 16 billion at various
stages of development near Muscat, the capital
city of the Sultanate of Oman. And, the
government is keen to expand this boom to
include other regions as well in the near
future.
The Roadmap
SITE is uniquely poised to take advantage
of the tremendous possibilities to build
strong partnerships in the tourism sector
in Oman. SITE’s tourism management

project worth around USD 500 million.
