Oman's tourism and hospitality sectors undergo transformative growth
Muscat: Oman's tourism and hospitality sectors are undergoing significant expansion as the country advances its long-term development goals under Vision 2040. A new Growth Perspectives Video produced by Oxford Business Group (OBG), in partnership with OMRAN Group, examines how investment, innovation and sustainable practices are helping to position tourism as a key contributor to national progress. The video, titled Oman's tourism and hospitality sectors undergo transformative growth, highlights the country's target of attracting 11 million tourists annually by 2040, supported by around OR20bn ($51bn) in projected investment to the sector, according to National Tourism Strategy 2040. Particular focus is placed on the contribution of the hospitality segment, which is forecast to achieve a compound annual growth rate of 6.3% by 2026, according to Oman's National Centre for Statistics and Information (NCSI). The video outlines the importance of a broad range of offerings—from luxury resorts and business hotels to eco-lodges—and explores Oman's efforts to align tourism development with environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles. In line with Oman's National Tourism Strategy, the sector's growth is being guided by a commitment to cultural preservation and sustainable development. Strategic projects such as the Sustainable City Yiti in Muscat—a $1bn eco-urban initiative—demonstrate how Oman is combining infrastructure modernisation with climate-conscious planning. The country is also leveraging its rich cultural heritage and natural attractions, including UNESCO World Heritage sites and diverse landscapes across its governorates. Dana Carmen Agarbicean, OBG's Country Director for Oman, said the country's growing profile as a tourism destination reflects effective public-private collaboration and a clear strategic vision. 'Oman's tourism and hospitality sectors are becoming increasingly important pillars of economic diversification. The sector's expansion is supported by targeted investment, institutional coordination and an emphasis on sustainable, inclusive growth.' This Growth Perspectives Video forms part of Oxford Business Group's wider research for The Report: Oman 2025, the Group's forthcoming publication on the country's investment opportunities and economic developments.

Alpha Dhabi Holding sees sharp growth in Q2 profits
Alpha Dhabi Holding has reported a significant surge in its second-quarter net profit for 2025, reaching AED 4.53 billion, marking a 118% increase from AED 2.08 billion during the same period in 2024. This growth reflects the investment conglomerate's strategic positioning in Abu Dhabi's dynamic market and its diversified portfolio of high-value assets. Revenue for the quarter also saw an uptick, rising to AED 18.4 billion from AED 15.1 billion in Q2 2024, driven largely by strong performances in its real estate, construction, and energy investments. The robust financial results highlight Alpha Dhabi's continued resilience in navigating fluctuating market conditions, alongside its ability to capitalize on lucrative opportunities in the UAE's fast-growing sectors. Looking at the first half of 2025, the company's net profit increased by 1% year-on-year, totalling AED 6.6 billion. This steady growth indicates that Alpha Dhabi has maintained a strong market position despite challenges posed by non-recurring items from the previous year. In the first half of 2024, the company's performance had been impacted by exceptional costs, totalling AED 1.4 billion, which were largely one-off events. By comparison, the 2025 results suggest a return to more stable financial operations. ADVERTISEMENT One of the key contributors to the conglomerate's success is its broad exposure to prominent businesses based in Abu Dhabi. Alpha Dhabi's stakes in well-established companies such as Aldar, Modon, and NMDC Group continue to be vital in bolstering its financial standing. These holdings, each a leader in their respective fields—real estate, construction, and mining—have provided the firm with substantial returns, particularly as the UAE's real estate market remains strong, buoyed by population growth and increasing demand for residential and commercial properties. Alpha Dhabi has been focusing on diversifying its investments across a variety of sectors, further reducing its exposure to any single market segment. This strategy has allowed the company to weather the volatility of global economic conditions more effectively. It has also enhanced its operational flexibility, enabling Alpha Dhabi to tap into a range of opportunities from healthcare to technology, all the while safeguarding long-term stability. The company's performance in Q2 2025 also reflects its adaptive approach to business strategy. Despite challenges faced by global markets, Alpha Dhabi has demonstrated an ability to leverage its extensive portfolio to generate consistent returns. Analysts suggest that the firm's focus on strategic investments, in combination with its ability to streamline operations, has been pivotal in achieving this growth. Alpha Dhabi Holding's sustained profit growth is also supported by its solid financial base. The company has managed to keep costs under control while simultaneously expanding its investments in both local and international markets. Moreover, the company has actively pursued new opportunities in infrastructure development, a sector that continues to receive significant government backing in the UAE. Looking forward, Alpha Dhabi's outlook remains optimistic. The company is expected to continue benefiting from its strong ties with the UAE government, particularly in key sectors such as construction and energy. Analysts predict that the continued growth of Abu Dhabi's real estate and infrastructure markets will provide further opportunities for Alpha Dhabi to capitalize on its existing investments.
