Oman is set to add 9,600 new hotel rooms by 2030, expanding its existing inventory of about 36,000 keys by more than 25 per cent, as its hospitality sector eyes a new growth era.

According to the latest Cavendish Maxwell report, revenues from 3to 5-star hotels increased to 141.2 million Omani riyals in the first half of 2025, an 18 per cent rise year-over-year, driving employment in the sector up by nearly 5 per cent to 10,800 jobs.
