HE Maitha Al Mahrouqi, undersecretary of the Ministry of Tourism said: “the campaign signals a shift towards greater on-line promotions. We are seeing transformational shifts as consumers move to digital and mobile devices to research and book travel, and it is vital that Oman respond and take advantage of this to attract new business and build market share.”
The Hotels.com campaign is the Ministry’s first major online campaign in the Middle East. The launch coincides with the start of the Salalah Tourism Festival (June 21st to July 18th, 2012, followed by the Khareef season (July to September).
