Sports tourism has a huge potential to grow and generate tourism, revenue, and a healthier lifestyle.
Quote: “Tanfeedh and the Ministry of Tourism (MoT) have a very in-depth strategy and their main targets are special interest groups or the adventure and sports tourists, and sports tourism is on a huge upward curve.,” – David Graham, CEO Oman Sail.
The core sporting activities being focused on are running, cycling, sailing, mountain biking, equestrian, camel racing and fishing.
The country is only focusing on a few sports now because they want to narrow them down and grow big.
