Oman Tourism Development Company (OMRAN) has invited bids to establish a tourism complex in South Sharqiyah as part of its mission to develop tourism and increase national income.

Companies are asked to submit proposals for the design and construction of a tourism services complex in the governorate of the Suwayh area. The deadline for bid submission is June 22.

OMRAN, in cooperation with the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism, is also developing several tourist destinations in Dhofar. According to the ministry, diverse tourism infrastructure in various governorates is being steadily implemented under its supervision.

OMRAN Group and South Al Sharqiyah Governor’s Office signed a pact to develop several tourism projects in the governorate in May 2022. Under the pact, OMRAN will undertake technical support as well as supervise the execution operations of the multi-phased projects.

The phase one of the projects will see a park development in Al Suwaih with a total area exceeding 65,000 square meters, as well as the development of another park in Al-Ashkharah extending over a total area of roughly 14,000 square meters. The two parks will provide a variety of tourism and entertainment facilities, including dining areas, retail outlets, kids’ playgrounds, and Campgrounds.

The OMRAN Group, which owns three hospitality assets in the South Al Sharqiyah Governorate including Atana Stay Al Ashkarah, Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve, and Masirah Island Resort, plays a key role in enriching tourism experiences by creating iconic destinations that reflect the Sultanate’s interest in sustainability, including its cultural heritage.

Last month, OMRAN signed two strategic agreements with renowned international hotel operators Nikki Beach and Four Seasons in order to develop and operate resorts in the Sultanate.
