The Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre is scheduled for completion in 2016. Geoff Donaghy, director of convention centres for AEG Ogden which manages the Oman Centre, said the importance of international awards could not be understated as a tool to promote venues to prospective customers.
“AEG Ogden has been working in partnership with the Ministry of Tourism and Oman’s key stakeholders in introducing the world to Oman and as the new hub for major international conventions, meetings and business events. Many international and regional organisations have already expressed a strong desire to hold future or expand events in the sea side city of Muscat.
The Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre will have a fully integrated precinct housing a five star hotel, two four-star and a three-star hotel total of 1,000 rooms, supported by a shopping centre, business park within four kilometres from Muscat International Airport.
The Centre will play an important role in the country’s Vision 2020 strategy to diversify the economy and build employment opportunities for the Omani people and open their country to the world. It will also offer an additional choice to international and regional associations, organisations, institutions and corporations to grow business opportunities, impart knowledge in a destination that has serious delegate appeal.
