The new President Muscat Municipality H.E. Sultan Al Harthy invited a group from leisure oriented companies to meet with him him for a discussion – principally about Muscat Festival. He is looking to increase interaction between the Municipality and organizations who interact with its functions.

Apart from myself and a few other tour operators the new some of the new tourist resorts management also were invited – so Sultan Al Harthy got a broad spread of input . Interesting uses of the wadis, which run from mountain to sea, were touched on and enhancements to the Muttrah area were brought up. It will be good to have schemes drawn up based on at least some input from people outside a planner’s office. I gather the next meeting will be with bankers – hopefully not requests for funding will be made.
