Oman is looking to attract close to 2 million foreign tourists in 2012 in a year its capital city Muscat has been designated as the Arab capital for tourism, a senior official at the Ministry of Tourism said here yesterday.
"We are not looking at mass tourism. We are promoting Oman as a cultural and historical destination - a country which has mountains, desert and a long coastline. We are looking to attract high-end tourists," Haitham Mohammad Gasani, Director of Tourism Promotion at Oman's Ministry of Tourism, told reporters at a news conference.
He added however, that their target for tourist arrivals could be affected if new troubles erupt in the Middle East.
