Oman Tourism has announced the launch of its global advertising campaign for the upcoming season which is going live on television and other digital platforms. The campaign captures the essence of Oman at different levels and highlights diverse aspects of the destination.
The film is conceptualised and developed by the Ministry of Tourism’s teams working in Oman and India; and is directed by Bapi Bit of Motherboard Films. There is an alluring international mix of models that have been featured in the film and its overall look is contemporary which resonates well with Indians as well as international audiences.
Speaking about this recent development, Salim Adi Al Mamari, Director General of Tourism Promotion, from the Ministry of Tourism in Oman said, “We are successfully promoting Oman in the Indian market and in countries around the world, and felt there was a strong need for a customized film that highlights the Omani culture, landscape and history, while also depicting the outdoor adventure and wedding aspects of our country.”
“We believe that our new film has put together an interesting mélange of all these facets and are certain that the film will appeal to audiences; while helping boost footfalls in the coming months.”
He further added, “The idea of the film was to go beyond HNIs and premium travellers; and attract younger audiences, women travellers, etc. as these are some of the emerging travel segments that India and the rest of the world are witnessing in the last couple of years. Also, since ‘weddings’ are an important part of Indian culture, we are constantly striving to promote Oman for destination weddings.”
The film features picturesque locations of glistening Muscat city, rustic town of Sur, historic city of Nizwa, well nurtured turtle reserve at Ras Al Jinz, breezy-mountainous regions of Jabal Akdhar, and pristine Damaniyat Islands.
The master 5 minute film will be used for B2B platforms such as events, roadshows, etc. The 4 minute version will be used by international markets, and the 2 minute video will be used on digital platforms. The 30 seconds version of the commercial will be aired on television.
