Omeir Travel has also been busy innovating this year in a bid to stay ahead of its competitors — launching a highly-advanced CRM system to support its call centre and corporate clientele.

In 2012 Omeir Travel is planning to focus on providing “increased interaction with walk-in customers and existing clients.”
Much of this will take place through the online sphere — the company website is in the process of being re-branded with additional features such as online booking and more user-friendly facilities being added.

In 2007 he took over the mantle of the company as the group CEO overseeing the day to day operations. His entrepreneurship and leadership qualities have been a driving force for the development of Omeir Travel into a leading corporate agency acquiring key global and national accounts.
