Oman: Wakan Village attracts over 27,000 visitors
Dr. Al-Mu'tasim Nasser Al-Hilali, Director of Heritage and Tourism in South Al Batinah Governorate, said that the village's diverse tourist attractions have established it as a year-round sustainable destination.
He noted that summer tourism peaks due to the village's mild climate and seasonal fruit harvests, which begin with apricots in June, followed by peaches, then figs and pomegranates in July, and three varieties of local grapes (Al-Maqdmani, Al-Malasi, and sour grapes) in August.
The recent opening of 'View Wakan' café, the village's third café, has further boosted visitor numbers, especially on weekends and official holidays.
The village offers experiences such as mountain stays at its guesthouse and hiking along ancient agricultural and mountain trails, which have become popular among international adventurers.
Wakan also features several historical landmarks, including an ancient mosque, old neighborhoods, and agricultural terraces dating back hundreds of years.

Why Gulf tourists are racing to this Polish mountain town
Saudi photographer Fahad Alayyash gazed over the Alpine-like panorama of the Tatras, Poland's highest mountain range — and a surprising new hotspot for Arab tourists. The 38-year-old is among thousands of Gulf residents spending their summer vacation in Zakopane, a resort known for its ski lifts and hiking trails, where historic wooden houses mix with modern hotels. 'We've completely taken over the place,' Alayyash said while standing on Gubalowka, a peak overlooking Zakopane, where dozens of visitors drink coffee, shop for souvenirs, and enjoy the view. Zakopane, located in southern Poland, has become a major summer draw for holidaymakers from the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, and up to seven daily flights from the region land at the nearby Krakow Airport. The boom started with a Saudi travel agency representative, said Agata Wojtowicz, head of the Tatra chamber of commerce. She said the official came to Zakopane to scout for a new destination with a direct connection to the Gulf and 'was astonished' by the town. Flydubai launched the first Dubai-Krakow connection in 2018 and Emiratis are now coming in droves — helped by their visa-free access to the European Union. Last year they were Poland's fastest-growing tourist group, according to the tourism ministry, with numbers 66 per cent higher than in 2023. Manal Alanazy, a 45-year-old educational technology professor at King Saud University, said Zakopane is well-known among Saudis. 'When I told my dad and my brother that I'm going to Poland, my brother didn't like it. He said: 'It's all Gulf people there,'' she said. Social media effect Zakopane uses social media to attract Gulf tourists who have created 'a snowball effect' of growing interest, said Wojtowicz. Over the past three years, Arab influencers have been invited on promotional visits, according to Grzegorz Biedron, chairman of its tourism organisation. Both Alanazy and Abdullah Alotaibi, a 30-year-old Kuwaiti ship captain, learnt about Zakopane from X, formerly Twitter. 'I saw on Twitter (X) a thread about Zakopane, and how it treats all people the same, and there is no racism about religions, so I liked it and I came,' said Alotaibi. Arab tourists cite the feeling of safety as one of Zakopane's key assets. 'It was dark and I was walking... I'm like, 'You're not in Poland, you're in one of the Gulf countries. Just look. Nothing will happen,'' said Alanazy. A palatable menu For Zakopane's business owners, the Gulf clientele has been a blessing. 'This year, around two-thirds are Arabs,' Anna Stoch-El Einen, who owns a kebab restaurant and souvenir shop, said of her customers. 'We have very few Polish tourists in the region, perhaps because of the weather,' she added. The hospitality industry has adapted fast to the preferences of Middle East visitors. Stoch-El Einen offers menus in Polish and Arabic, and has a 'halal' certificate displayed over the counter. 'We also make sure that we have a halal menu,' said Wiktor Wrobel, CEO of the region's Nosalowy hotel group. Arab customers constitute up to 30 per cent of all summer guests at his five-star hotel. City mayor Lukasz Filipowicz said 'local entrepreneurs are very happy about the presence of tourists from the Middle East'. He said the biggest challenge was the difference in driving cultures, with visitors often breaking parking and entry laws. 'Every municipal police patrol is equipped with a handbook in Arabic... so that tourists from the Middle East can understand and comply with the applicable regulations,' Filipowicz said. 'Weather is perfect' The day is rainy, but the drizzle did not deter Gulf visitors escaping the infernal summer heat in their home region. Temperatures sometimes top 50C in the Gulf, whereas Polish summers are generally mild. Alanazy initially wanted to vacation in Paris. 'I cancelled because the heatwave hit the European countries,' she said, adding that 'the weather is perfect' in Zakopane. Wrobel said climate change is a reason behind the surge in Zakopane's popularity. 'The respite that visitors from Arab countries are looking for cannot be found in Italy or Spain, where temperatures have also risen significantly,' he explained. Hanka Krzeptowska-Marusarz, whose family runs a guesthouse in Zakopane, recalled seeing a Kuwaiti in full Islamic attire as she stood in a meadow, arms spread out, soaked in torrential rain. 'I thought it was beautiful,' she said.

South Africa: Private sector forms steering committee to boost SADC tourism
Private sector tourism leaders across Southern Africa have established a new steering committee to address barriers holding back regional tourism growth and improve coordination across borders. With intra-regional tourism accounting for less than 25% of arrivals and air connectivity remaining limited, the committee will lead efforts to unlock the region's tourism potential. New governance for regional tourism The SADC Tourism Alliance, formed in 2022, acts as a unified private sector voice for tourism across all 16 SADC member states. It brings together national tourism associations and businesses to promote regional collaboration beyond political and national constraints. Operating independently while engaging with the SADC Secretariat, the Alliance provides technical leadership and coordination to strengthen Southern Africa's position as a connected tourism destination. Steering committee appointments The newly elected committee will oversee the Alliance's mission over the next three years. Members include: • Tshifhiwa Tshivhengwa (Chair), CEO, Tourism Business Council of South Africa • Tojo Lytah Razafimahefa (Deputy Chair), President, CTM Madagascar • Memory Momba Kamthunzi, executive director, Malawi Tourism Council • Ally Karaerua, Chair, FENATA, Namibia • Paul Matamisa, CEO, Tourism Business Council of Zimbabwe • Nasser Zauria Usta, representative of Cotur – Travel Management Worldwide, Mozambique "Each of us faces national challenges – whether it's airlift in Malawi, skills development in Namibia, or infrastructure in Madagascar. But we've learnt that a tourist doesn't see borders the way we do," Tshivhengwa said. "When we work together, we can unlock investment, create jobs, and protect our natural heritage at a scale that none of us can achieve alone. That's not just good business – it's essential for the communities who depend on tourism across our region." Priority focus areas The Alliance has identified three critical priorities to guide its work: • Unlocking regional access • Strengthening regional reputation • Ensuring institutional sustainability Support and funding The SADC Tourism Alliance's formation and activities are supported by the Joint Action NatureAfrica / Climate Resilience and Natural Resource Management (C-NRM) Programme, co-funded by the European Union and the German Government and implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH.
