OMRAN Group and Ministry of Education Celebrate the Closing of the First 'Summer Camp' for School Students
Post Views: 43 Oman Tourism Development Company (OMRAN Group), in collaboration with the Ministry of Education's Directorate of Career Guidance and Student Counselling, celebrated the successful conclusion of the first edition of the 'Summer Camp' — a unique initiative aimed at introducing school students to real-world career opportunities in the tourism and hospitality sector. Held over 10 days, the program welcomed 50 students from grades 10 and 11, who participated in a series of immersive activities, including site visits to various OMRAN Group-affiliated entities across sectors such as hospitality, tourism experiences, and visitor services. In addition, the students took part in interactive workshops and career guidance sessions, providing them with valuable exposure to professional work environments and deepening their understanding of the tourism industry. The closing ceremony was held under the patronage of H.E. Professor Abdullah Khamis Ambusaidi, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Education for Education, and attended by Dr. Hashil Obaid Al Mahrouqi, CEO of OMRAN Group, along with a number of officials from both sides. Maha Al Farsi, HR Business Partner at OMRAN Group, said: 'We're pleased with the success of the first edition of the summer camp, held in collaboration with the Ministry of Education's Vocational Guidance Centre. We were truly impressed by the students' enthusiasm and commitment throughout the program. The camp offered a practical learning experience that introduced participants to the key pillars and diverse fields of the tourism sector. We believe initiatives like this play a vital role in building early career awareness and inspiring youth to explore the sector's promising opportunities.' Mr. Zahran bin Nasser Al-Maghadri, Assistant Director of Studies and Entrepreneurship at the Vocational Guidance and Student Counseling Centre, Ministry of Education, stated: 'The summer camp bridged the gap between education and the job market by offering students hands-on experience in the tourism sector. It raised their career awareness and strengthened key skills. This initiative supports our goal of preparing a capable generation that values national opportunities like tourism. We're proud to partner with OMRAN Group in this model of effective public-private collaboration.' Students also shared their reflections on the experience. Aya Sultan Al-Wahaibi, a student participant, said: 'It was an inspiring and useful experience. I learned a lot from the workshops and visits and discovered new areas within tourism that I had never considered before. The camp helped me explore my interests and made me more excited to learn about the sector.' Mohammed Ali Al Maamari, another student, shared: 'The program gave me the chance to see new sides of tourism and learn about the different roles behind the scenes. It was different from school – I felt like I was learning in a fun and practical way.' The Summer Camp is one of several initiatives under the broader #IAmTourism strategy led by OMRAN Group, which focuses on building a strong national talent pipeline for Oman's tourism sector. The strategy is built on four pillars: increasing awareness of tourism careers, attracting local talent, supporting retention, and fostering institutional partnerships. Through such efforts, OMRAN continues to position tourism as a valuable and accessible career path for Omani youth.

Oman: Omran says notable progress made in its Salalah agritourism project
Salalah: Omran Group, the executive arm of the Sultanate of Oman for tourism development, announced notable progress in the early-stage development of Janaen Salalah—a pioneering agritourism project located in Arzat, Salalah. This initiative forms part of Oman's broader strategy to diversify its economy by integrating sustainable tourism with agriculture-based investments. As part of the ongoing development efforts, H.H. Sayyid Marwan bin Turki Al Said, Governor of Dhofar, and Dr. Saud bin Hamoud Al Habsi, Minister of Agricultural, Fisheries Wealth and Water Resources, conducted a field visit to the project site, accompanied by senior officials from the Group and other key stakeholders. During the visit, they were briefed on the project's key components, development phases, and latest updates. The visit also included the ceremonial planting of the first coconut trees, marking the beginning of the initial cultivation phase. This milestone represents a key step in the broader vision to transform the site into a productive landscape that aligns with the project's agritourism goals. Developed under the Agritourism Development Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Omran Group, Janaen aims to position Sultanate of Oman as a regional leader in agritourism by combining agricultural activity, hospitality, recreation, and community living in one integrated setting. Spanning over 5.5 million square metres, the project's masterplan outlines a well-integrated mix of components, including farm-based accommodations, coconut and papaya processing facilities, educational and recreational areas, and a retail village—all thoughtfully designed to create a dynamic and immersive agritourism experience for both residents and visitors. In preparation for the official construction launch, several foundational activities have been completed as part of Phase 1. These include the finalisation of the concept masterplan design, which outlines the strategic integration of agricultural and tourism components. A comprehensive feasibility study has confirmed the project's viability, leading to a formal commitment to initiate Phase 1. Additionally, the project has secured an Integrated Tourism Complex (ITC) licence from the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism—a key milestone that allows for foreign ownership and enhances investment potential. An experienced agriculture contractor has also been appointed, and initial plantation works are now underway. Once completed, Janaen Salalah will comprise 250 residential units, a 5-star hotel with 128 keys, and purpose-built zones for eco-recreation, edutainment, and wellness. These features will be complemented by vibrant public spaces and year-round programming that highlight Oman's agricultural heritage and natural landscapes—offering a destination that balances lifestyle, learning, and leisure. 'This development reflects our ongoing commitment to pioneering sustainable tourism models that drive investment, support local agriculture, and create engaging visitor experiences rooted in Oman's natural heritage,' said Mundher Al Moosawi, Board of Managers Member at Janaen. The development aligns with Oman Vision 2040, particularly under the Competitive Economy and Environmental Sustainability pillars. It contributes to national priorities such as economic diversification, governorate development, public-private partnerships, and environmental stewardship—positioning Janaen Salalah as a model for responsible, value-driven tourism growth. As Omran Group approaches the launch of the next phase of the Janaen Salalah development, efforts are accelerating to position it as a model destination that embodies innovation, enhances added value, and contributes to sustainable economic returns in collaboration with our strategic partners. © Muscat Media Group Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.
