Workshop to boost heritage and tourism governance
MUSCAT: The Ministry of Heritage and Tourism, in partnership with the Oman Vision 2040 Implementation Follow-up Unit and several public and private stakeholders, will host a national workshop starting Monday, May 26, in Muscat. The event, titled 'Addressing the Challenges of Governance of Heritage and Tourism Development Management with Governorates', will run for four days.
The workshop aims to strengthen institutional coordination between the Ministry and governorates, support decentralisation in the heritage and tourism sectors, and propose sustainable solutions for facility development and financing. It is also aligned with efforts to enhance public-private partnerships and improve overall institutional performance.
The event will revolve around four core themes: governance and integration, investment and tourism development, public service and tourism facilities, and enabling frameworks covering employment, localisation, legislation, performance metrics, statistics, marketing, and media outreach.
Participants will include representatives from 11 governorates, 17 national entities, and a range of experts in governance, planning, and tourism. The workshop forms part of broader strategic initiatives aimed at ensuring balanced development across Oman in line with Vision 2040. — ONA

Oman's GDP rises to RO 10.53 billion in Q1 2025
MUSCAT: Oman's gross domestic product (GDP) at current market prices reached RO 10.53 billion in the first quarter of 2025, marking a year-on-year increase of 4.7 per cent compared to RO 10.056 billion in Q1 2024. According to preliminary data from the National Centre for Statistics and Information, this growth was largely driven by non-oil activities, which grew by 4.1 per cent to reach RO 7.132 billion. Key contributors included service activities (RO 4.837 billion), industrial activities (RO 1.968 billion), and agriculture and fisheries (RO 326.6 million), the latter showing a robust 11.1 per cent growth. Oil activities also made a significant contribution, rising by 6.8 per cent overall to RO 3.706 billion. Although crude oil activity dropped by 7.5 per cent to RO 2.735 billion, this was offset by a substantial 89 per cent increase in natural gas activity, which added RO 970 million in value. The results reflect the Sultanate's continued push toward economic diversification while maintaining strong energy sector performance, in line with the objectives of Oman Vision 2040. — ONA

Building real investment trust in Oman: Beyond the headlines
Oman has made clear that investment is central to its future. Through Vision 2040, the country has set an ambitious goal: to grow a stronger, more diverse economy that creates jobs, brings in new technologies, and improves life for its people. To get there, we need strong private-sector participation, smart partnerships, and a steady flow of capital — both local and international. In the past few years, we've seen a real push to attract investment. Government entities, businesses, and media have all played a part. Large-scale projects — some worth hundreds of millions of rials — are being announced with confidence. These stories capture attention, show momentum, and send a positive signal about Oman's economic outlook. But behind every announcement, there's an important question: Are we delivering what we're promising? This isn't about doubt — it's about alignment. Not all projects that are announced are fully funded yet. Sometimes, the companies involved are still building their operational capacity. Other times, the investment figure is a long-term estimate, not something immediately available. That's fine — many successful economies do this. What matters is how clearly we explain the difference. WHAT INVESTORS (AND CITIZENS) REALLY WANT? Investors — especially experienced ones — are not just impressed by big numbers. They're looking for reliable partners, transparent systems, and projects that actually move forward on schedule. Citizens, too, want to see how these investments improve livelihoods, create opportunities, and deliver on national goals. That's why it's time to make transparency a core part of how we talk about investment in Oman. Simple steps can make a big difference. For example: • Sharing the source of financing and the project timeline. • Clarifying whether an agreement is preliminary or final. • Publishing regular updates on major projects. When people see clear information, trust grows. When trust grows, capital follows. GOOD PROGRESS — AND ROOM TO IMPROVE To be fair, Oman has made important progress. Platforms like 'Invest Easy' have improved the investor experience. Laws are more open. Institutions are modernising. The vision is clear. But some challenges remain. Investors still report facing delays or needing to coordinate with multiple government bodies to get started. More integration and data-sharing between agencies would help. A central dashboard that tracks all major projects — their stage, status, and impact — could be a game-changer. LET'S FOCUS ON IMPACT, NOT JUST SIZE Often, the success of an investment is judged by the amount of money announced. But a smaller project that delivers real results — jobs, skills, exports — can be just as valuable. We should highlight stories of real impact, not just large numbers. The goal isn't just to say 'Oman is open for business' — it's to show how business is actually being done here, and done well. A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY Telling the right investment story isn't only the job of the government. It's a shared responsibility — between ministries, companies, media, and citizens. We all have a role in shaping how Oman is perceived by the world. Let's aim for a national conversation on investment that's realistic, honest, and inspiring. One where the numbers are accurate, the expectations are managed, and the projects are seen through to the end. Oman has everything it needs to become a trusted investment hub: stability, leadership, vision, and talent. Now it's time to match our communication with our strengths — and turn headlines into long-term value. QASIM AL MAASHANI The writer is the head of business and politics section at Oman Observer.
