"Oman needs 2,272 hotel rooms, mainly in 3 star category and 757 service apartment rooms," Filippo Sona, Director, Head of Hotels (MENA Region) Colliers International said in his speech on hotel development perspective at Oman Tourism Summit on Monday.

"Oman has the potential to progress in hotel industry. But it has to focus more on diversification, setting up healthcare city and academic city, introduce variety entertainment, have diverse hotel stock and easier visa processing," Times of Oman reported, quoting Filippo as saying.

"Oman needs more branded 3 and 4 star hotels," said Matthew Wright, Head of Consultancy & Industrial, Cluttons & Partners. He added that there should be more heritage hotels, luxury resorts and hotels providing more outdoor activities like biking and watersports.
