Oman Tourism Development Company (Omran) has announced that it will facilitate the development of Oman’s first world-class family water park in Muscat, a key project under the National CEO Programme (NCP).

The ground-breaking project, which is set to be a premier visitor destination, has been developed by six graduates of the NCP– an initiative by the Public Private Partnership taskforce (Sharaka), under the patronage of the Diwan of Royal Court.

James Wilson, CEO of Omran, said: “Based on extensive market research carried out by the NCP team, it is clear that there is significant interest from the younger generation in Oman. The project will be developed and financed in partnership with the private sector. There has been a significant interest by local investors to take part in the project and we are now in discussions with a number of local investors for the water park and we look forward to providing more detailed information over the coming weeks.”
