The brand DestinationOman is founded by Deepak Nair an expatriate resident of the Sultanate of Oman since 1992. The website www.destinationoman.com was founded by him in 2001 when his entrepreneurial skills came to the fore.
The idea was to create a better awareness of the Sultanate of Oman as a growing tourist destination of the middle east. It is a private initiative that won appreciation from the tourism industry stake holders of Oman, including the ministry of tourism and that came into existence even before the official website of the ministry of tourism was in place.
