Tourism in Oman is on the rise and the latest report offers optimism for Oman’s rebounding sector. The report by BMI, a Fitch Solutions company, predicts a significant surge in tourist arrivals for 2024, with numbers expected to surpass 5 million for the first time.
This positive outlook underscores Oman’s growing appeal as a travel destination. The projection, according to the report, has taken the data from the National Centre for Statistics and Information (NCSI), which had marked 4.3 million arrivals in 2023.
In the latest BMI report, it said: “We anticipate Oman’s arrivals to grow by 24.7% y-o-y in 2024, totaling 5.3 million, marking a new pinnacle following the recent peak in 2023. The upward trend is expected to continue throughout our medium-term forecast period (2024-2028), reaching a projected 10.8 million by 2028. This trajectory suggests Oman is well on course to achieve its 2040 target of welcoming 11.0 million tourists.”
