The event is one of the important activities in the year as it focuses mainly on the domain of cultural tourism.

About 300 individual from foreign countries, members from the Sultanate and 150 countries would be hosted in the conference.

To host the conference, the organising committee of the Ministry of Tourism(MoT) and its sub-committees  have been following up with participants to ensure swift flow of work and to complete procedures for registration prior to the event.

With the cooperation of the institutions and government entities connected to the tourism sector, the studying, monitoring and supervising all the activities related to the participation are conducted by the sub-committees.
