The former Ministry of Tourism had several representative offices in Europe and India but with expiry of the contracts, there is a renewed push to open them again and bring in tourists to Oman.

According to the Economic Diversification Report 2020 of the Oman Vision 2040 Implementation Follow-Up Unit, one of the main objectives for 2020 was to continue opening up representative offices in China and the US as a top priority.

Following that, MHT had in the beginning of August announced the opening a tourism representation office in China. The year-long contract lasts from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2022 and is renewable.
