The platform will digitize the local tourism supply chain, in cooperation with our partners, and will become a vital factor in supporting the Sultanate’s vision to increase local and international investments in tourism infrastructure, in addition to, achieving our objective to attract 11.7 million tourists by 2040, of whom 5 million are international tourists."
