Oman's hotel industry continues to reel from pandemic impact
Published 28 Jul,2021 via Muscat Daily - Oman's hotel industry continues to reel from historic drop in revenues and mounting losses due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Latest data released by the National Center for Statistics and Information (NCSI) still paints a gloomy picture for the hotel industry.
