The Tanfeedh process is Oman’s solution to issues surrounding a non-oil future for the Sultanate, bringing together private and public sector agencies to streamline doing business in the country and to iron out problems.
Oman’s tourism industry is about to witness a radical change as 45 new projects in the sector will be announced today. Around 121 proposed projects in tourism, manufacturing, logistics, finance and labour market will be unveiled, according to organisers.
Of these, 30 per cent will be implemented as quickly as possible, in some cases by early next year.
These initiatives are the result of six weeks of discussions attended by more than 250 officials from 160 government and private institutions.
