"Although the Sultanate is located in a competitive regional environment , there are many factors that help strengthen Oman's potential in the Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions (MICE) sector. The most important of which is the stable political situation, security that is a must to enjoy a destination, especially this kind of tourism,  state institutions and law and the infrastructure development," he said.
