Oman’s tourism market is growing rapidly, with 2023 seeing a 38% increase in visitors, reaching 4 million. This growth is central to Vision 2040, with $31 billion allocated for tourism development, emphasizing sustainability, infrastructure, and cultural heritage.
The government aims to boost tourism revenue to $483.7 million by 2024 through strategic projects and policy reforms, aimed at making the sector more resilient and eco-friendly and creating in-country value.
Sustainable water management is crucial to Oman’s tourism sector, especially given its arid climate and limited freshwater resources. As tourism grows, particularly in eco-tourism and cultural heritage sites, demand for water and responsible management rises.

Efforts to involve local communities in water-conscious practices also play a key role in preserving cultural heritage and supporting long-term economic development, without compromising the environment and water resources.
