CEO Breakfast: Tourism & Real Estate Synergies in Oman

The Business Year was proud to launch an exclusive CEO Breakfast under the theme “Tourism & Real Estate Synergies in Oman.” As the Sultanate sees continued growth in tourism investment and real estate development, this high-level gathering brought together top executives, policymakers, and investors to explore the intersection of these two key sectors.

With hotel revenues up by 31% and tourism’s direct added value rising by 14.5% between 2019 and 2023, Oman is leveraging its strategic assets and Vision 2040 framework to position itself as a regional leader in sustainable, luxury, and eco-tourism.

The event featured a roundtable, bringing together selected industry leaders for focused discussions on unlocking investment potential, strengthening public-private partnerships, and driving innovation in real estate and hospitality.

The CEO Breakfast was intended to support strategic collaboration, shape forward-looking policy dialogue, and foster partnerships aligned with Oman’s long-term development priorities.
