AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Oman Tourism & Transport: Oman’s hotel stock jumped 43% to 1,475 in 2025, with South Al Batinah leading (313 hotels), while Dhofar’s Khareef is already outpacing last year—1.116m visitors by Aug 31 (+8.6%) and a key question now is whether spending is keeping up with arrivals. Muttrah Cable Car: The Muttrah Cable Car has cleared stringent international safety certification and is moving toward final government review, with construction of the main stations completed. Aviation & Connectivity: Oman is planning a new passenger terminal at Sohar Airport, aiming to launch more regional routes before year-end, and its advanced air mobility strategy is entering intensive consultation with workshops in Muscat. Regional Rail: Trial operations on the Oman-UAE rail link are expected to start in Q4 2027. Investment in Sur: Madayn announced four Sur Industrial City opportunities—private hospital, specialised training centre, quarry for backfill materials, and an integrated residential complex. Travel Rules Abroad: Thailand cut visa-free stays for travellers from UAE and other GCC countries to 30 days.
