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!
