Oman Tourism Development Company (OMRAN), the executive arm of the sultanate for tourism development, has revealed plans for Yiti one of the country’s largest integrated tourism developments.
OMRAN said the new master-planned development sets a “new model for urbanisation” as it connects and extends the city of Muscat through a multi-phased expansion approach.
Spanning over 11 million square metres, the Yiti development overlooks the Sea of Oman and will be spread over four phases.
Putting sustainability at the heart of its vision, the master plan places a huge importance on the creation of a well-balanced integrated mixed use residential and resort-oriented community that will include tourism, commercial and business spaces as well as residential areas.
In addition to leisure and entertainment attractions, educational and health facilities will also feature alongside open-to-all public and community facilities.
Hashil Bin Obaid Al Mahrouqi, CEO of OMRAN Group said: “We have consciously created a development plan that will be executed through holistic partnerships with world class expertise. It is anticipated to create a modern integrated urban hub that sets new and improved urban planning standards for future developments in Oman and the region.
“This integrated development in the sultanate, brings with it multi-fold opportunities for potential investors from across the region and the globe to be associated with it.
“The scale of the development will directly contribute to the socio-economic development of the sultanate and position Yiti as a unique destination that offers a mix of tourist, cultural and real estate offering in the future.”
He added that the Yiti development will play a pivotal role in increasing the tourism sector’s contribution to the nation’s GDP.
