Oman Air and Nation Brand Office Forge Strategic Partnership to Elevate Oman's Global Positioning and Narrative
In a landmark step to amplify Oman's presence on the world stage, Oman Air has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Nation Brand Office, aligning the Sultanate's national airline with Oman's flagship promotional brand initiative launched by His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik earlier this year.The agreement cements a powerful alliance between two national entities committed to placing Oman's identity, culture, and values at the forefront of the global travel experience. As one of the first institutions to formally embrace the Oman Promotional Brand, Oman Air will serve as a flagship channel for storytelling, bringing to life the essence of Oman's Nation Brand through every journey it operates.'This partnership is more than symbolic, it's strategic,' said His Highness Dr. Faris bin Turki Al Said, Assistant Professor at Sultan Qaboos University and a member of the Nation Brand Technical Team. 'Oman Air represents our first impression to the world. Infusing our national brand across such a visible platform sends a strong, unified message about Oman and the opportunities it offers in tourism, investment, and as a thriving destination overall.'Con Korfiatis, Chief Executive Officer of Oman Air, added: 'We have always carried the soul of Oman across continents from our cabin service to our iconic hospitality. This MoU signals a new chapter, where our brand and our nation's brand walk hand in hand. We are proud to be one of the key strategic partners of this initiative, and even prouder to be part of the journey shaping how Oman is seen, felt, and remembered around the world.'Under the agreement, the Nation Brand Office will work closely with Oman Air to co-develop brand integration initiatives, jointly position Oman in key strategic markets, and unlock new storytelling opportunities. These include immersive workshops, branding alignment across touchpoints, frontline training, and co-branded participation in global tourism and aviation events.
This collaboration builds on earlier efforts, such as the wearing of brand brooches by Oman Air spokespersons and logo visibility during key media engagements, now expanding into a more comprehensive and sustained brand activation strategy.

Can tourists visit North Korea's biggest beach resort?
Published June 28th, 2025 - 11:48 GMT ALBAWABA - North Korean President Kim Jong Un has attended the opening of a new resort that was referred to as a "national treasure-level tourism city". However, who will be able to visit it and can tourists now visit North Korea? A lavish seaside resort was launched in North Korea and will open its doors to the public on July 1st. According to the official KCNA news service, the president opened the sprawling Kalma beachside resort with waterparks, high-rise hotels, and accommodation that can host about 20,000 visitors at once. DPRK opens beach resort exclusively for Russians and localsKim Jong Un inaugurated the Wonsan Kalma resort with his family and Russia's ambassador — calling it a milestone for national tourism The 5-km complex features hotels, dining, shopping, a water park, and mini-golf — RT (@RT_com) June 26, 2025 The Wonsan-Kalma Coastal Tourist Zone, which was opened in a huge ceremony on June 24, is located on North Korea's eastern coast. Local media said "service for domestic guests will begin July 1," however, no other details on eligibility or transportation were shared. The Kalma beach resort is located near an international airport, which could be a hint that it aims to attract not only locals but also foreign currency, CNN mentioned. Since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, international tourism in the country has largely been limited to Russian visitors, while strict limitations on domestic travel remain in place. This latest development once again brings to the forefront long-standing concerns around who has access, who the intended audience is, and whether such efforts make economic sense. "Wonsan-Kalma is open to just North Koreans for now, but we should not be surprised to see Russians at the resort in the not-too-distant future," Rachel Minyoung Lee, a non-resident fellow with the 38 North program at the Stimson Center, said. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (
