  • Hi Tripatini members! 

    I am doing some research on traveler perceptions about Oman- why tourists may choose to go to the Sultanate (country), what types of tourism they associate with Oman and what some of the obstacles to Omani tourism development may be. 

    I have put together a very quick 8 question survey, ideally for people who have not yet been. It would be wonderful to get as many responses as possible, and I know tripatini is a network for global travelers, so please fill it out if you have a spare 5 minutes. 

    Here is the link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SH9NPDT

    Thank you very much! 

    Tessa
