Indian tourism growth in Oman

Overview

In 2025, Oman experienced an 11% increase in Indian tourist arrivals, with the Sultanate welcoming 6.94 lakh visitors. This growth trend persisted into the first half of 2026, as 3.81 lakh Indian arrivals were registered between January and June.

Officials attribute the surge to enhanced air connectivity, specifically through direct services from more than 10 Indian cities to Muscat and expanded links to Salalah. This development is described as an evolution of historical ties between India and Oman, transitioning from maritime commerce toward a structured tourism partnership involving airlines, media, and travel industry stakeholders.
