Muscat: Oman welcomed 71,000 cruise ship visitors in February.

“In February 2018, 71,000 cruise ship visitors toured Oman,” Oman’s National Centre for Statistics and Information (NCSI) revealed in its latest tourism index.

“Oman has a huge potential for cruise tourism. And moreover, visitors see Oman as the safest place in the region and that is one of the reason we are seeing so many cruise visitors,” a travel agent said.

Oman’s Ministry of Tourism had also made facilities for the tourists to enjoy a range of water sporting activities, ranging from diving and surfing to traditional boating experiences in different ports of the Sultanate (Sultan Qaboos Port, Khasab Port and Salalah Port) for the cruise visitors.
