With Oman re-opening its borders to vaccinated travellers without prior approval, Muriya’s Hawana Salalah, Oman’s largest integrated tourism complex, is welcoming European travellers for the winter season in the Governorate of Dhofar.
With a surge of interest among domestic, regional, and international markets for the concept of resort living, Hawana Salalah is collaborating with international tour operators to promote Dhofar as the most popular vacation destination in the region.
Hawana Salalah is expected to welcome more than ten thousand tourists by end of 2021 as more international travellers flock to the region’s only tropical getaway.
“Since its inception, Muriya has been constantly working diligently to contribute to the growth of the tourism sector in Oman in line with the government’s diversification strategy. We have been hard at work for years with tour operators to attract direct flights from European cities to Salalah to help increase the flow of tourists to the entire area, but the unprecedented circumstances that the world went through in the past two years has put a hold on international travel,” said Ossama Aboualam, CEO of Muriya.
“With Oman easing travel restrictions to enable more seamless travel to the Sultanate, we are witnessing more demand from European markets to travel to Salalah as well as other international destinations and that is good news for everyone in the tourism and hospitality industry.”
Hawana Salalah boasts a picturesque 170-berth marina, surrounded by a variety of hospitality establishments including the 577-room Fanar Hotel & Residences, the 87-room Juweira Boutique Hotel and the beachfront 19-hut, Souly Lodge.
Another key hotel in the destination is the the 422-room Salalah Rotana Resort, which will reopen in December 2021. In addition, Hawana Salalah creates a vibrant atmosphere for guests to enjoy a wide range of restaurants, shops and leisure facilities.
The Hawana Aquapark, open on weekends, is a major aquatic attraction for local and international visitors featuring 65,600 sqm of pure adventure and fun as well as a food court.
