Oman Tourism Development Company (Omran) and graduates of the Public Private Partnership Taskforce’s National CEO Programme have collaborated to develop Oman’s first waterpark.
The family-focussed waterpark is due to be built in Muscat, the Omani capital. The project will be developed and financed in partnership with the private sector, and Omran have confirmed it is currently in discussions with a number of local investors regarding the waterpark.
Omran CEO James Wilson commented: “Omran’s mission is to seek and support projects of national significance that can help position Oman as a leading global visitor destination. We actively look to support, develop and grow national capacities to develop and manage these projects, which is why we are fully committed to collaborating with the NCP. In addition, it is one of our key performance objectives to train and develop the future executive leaders in Omran.”
Wilson added: “Based on extensive market research carried out by the NCP team it is clear that there is significant interest from the younger generation in Oman and as is the case at other successful waterparks in our neighbouring countries it is a significant driver of family based hotel occupancy.”
