Oman is emerging as a top international MICE destination, with one of the largest conference centres in the region, the Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre, constructed close to Muscat International Airport.
On 31st May 2022, the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) held its 31st congress, a four-day conference, at the Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre, which was hosted by the Oman Journalists Association.
Sayyid Asaad bin Tarik al Said, Deputy Prime Minister for International Relations and Cooperation Affairs and Personal Representative of His Majesty the Sultan, inaugurated the triennial congress.
The conference covered a wide range of topics, including debates about the influence of the media on society and a gathering of the Federation of Asia-Pacific Journalists (FAPAJ). The convention has grown in prominence as the Middle East’s most important journalism and media event on a local, regional, and international level.
Sayyid Asaad welcomed the delegates and commended the Oman Journalists Association for hosting “this great international press and media gathering,” emphasising the Sultanate’s delight in hosting the event.
He characterised it as an opportunity for attendees to learn about Oman’s resurgence in all domains, as well as the Sultanate’s tourism, culture, and economic prospects to the worldwide media.
The event gave the Sultanate and its economic, ecological, historical, and cultural features a chance to be introduced to the rest of the globe.
Oman’s famed hospitality, the plethora of exceptional activities available, as well as its distinctive architecture, culture, and tradition, add to its allure, together with a large selection of top-notch hotels and all the necessary infrastructure, make it one of most exotic MICE venues.
