May 2, 2025 - 22:09
Oman is making significant strides in the realm of sustainable tourism, with 16 hotels recently earning certification from the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC). This achievement was announced during the Arabian Travel Market held in Dubai, marking a pivotal moment for the country's commitment to eco-friendly and socially responsible travel practices.
The WTTC certification process evaluates hotels based on their sustainability efforts, including energy efficiency, waste management, and community engagement. By achieving this certification, these hotels not only demonstrate their dedication to preserving the environment but also enhance the overall travel experience for visitors.
Oman's initiative sets a new benchmark for the tourism industry, encouraging other nations to adopt similar sustainable practices. This move not only benefits the local economy and environment but also positions Oman as a leading destination for environmentally conscious travelers. As global awareness of sustainability continues to grow, Oman’s efforts may inspire a wider shift towards responsible tourism worldwide.
