Saudi’s Almosafer travel agency partners with Visit Oman

Travellers from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the UAE will be targeted to boost visits to the sultanate

Saudi-based travel platform Almosafer and Visit Oman have signed an agreement to drive more tourist bookings to Oman from neighbouring GCC countries.

Under the partnership, Almosafer will run a marketing campaign throughout 2023 to promote Oman as a destination to customers in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the UAE.

The campaign will run across several platforms to increase awareness of Oman as a tourist destination. Almosafer will utilise its omnichannel approach to deliver the message across all customer touchpoints, including via Almosafer’s Youtube video series, along with online and offline marketing channels.
