Fruitful gambling on ideas!

During the holiday season, families are struggling with every possibility to beat the heat and enjoy summer! It is the time for people to have a long refreshing break with family. All have been impatiently awaiting the summer break to have a break in between the yearend and new school year. Such a break would always be needed to refresh memories, recharge power of body and stimulate spirits and interests.

Though summer holiday is bidding farewell, a few weeks ahead are still in the plan for some to enjoy its last minute. As summer is always associated with tourism and travelling, people’s holiday plans differ based on their interests to enjoy their time. Spending the time and having good moments with family, friends and loved ones depends on the place, its attractions and facilities too. Hence, heading to a place with no sightseeing or striking and enjoyable facilities is simply a waste of time indeed.

Blessing any tourist landmark is all what makes it a destination or an abandoned place. That is what people, adults and kinds alike, are looking for always when trying to enjoy their holiday. In other words, it is all about finding what really entertains people and attracts their interests. However, many local tourist places are lacking the fun and enjoyment part in how it looks like and what it delivers to its tourists and visitors.

For that reason, what would families spend their money and time at in such sights?! Except the natural sightseeing and historical landmarks, there is nothing else that can attract people’s interest and kid’s enjoyment spirit. Likewise, some of those attractions, wherever available, are not well maintained and equipped to fascinate or even welcome tourists and visitors as it should be. Hence, there should be a reform in the overall tourism sectors and its thinking out of the box concepts. 

Accordingly, both individuals and families tend to spend their holiday overseas! Although it is a burdening expense on families, but travelling in summer is becoming a priority that shouldn’t be missed for them. They prefer to be out of country exploring cultures and nature of other nations as well as meeting other people. Such an out-of-country experience could be more enjoyable, fruitful investment and serves a reviving break for all.

There is no wonder why those people spend their time and money overseas and not in the country instead! Basically, the local offers are not matching their interests, perhaps neither serving the entertaining demands nor the needed staycation facilities. To them, the internal tourism is not serving the purpose not attractive enough to spend the time here.

Though all what it requires to make those places wonderful tourist destinations is a little bit of thinking out of the box. Sometimes only simple ideas could change a place and turn it a tourist hub not only for locals, but others from outside the country too. A recent case in a point is Salalah, which is regarded a worldwide tourist destination for hundreds of thousands of people. Other than the greenery and nice refreshing weather, usually there is nothing to entertain people there.

However, what people have observed this year with the different entertainment activities, especially in Darbat area could be the start for a better experience next year. Out of public observation, all that was a fruitful outcome of simple ideas delivered by Omani youth. The recreation activities and staycation options of doom houses, for instance, have undoubtedly made a difference to visitors’ experience.

More creative and attractive ideas could make an impact to tourism if youth are given the chance to gamble on their ideas. Such an experience is a testimony for Omanis capabilities to bring remarkable tourist attractions. Rather, it is an opportunity to play their role and support government to boost internal tourism. All they look for is confidence and an opportunity to invest in the sector and turn ideas into reality.
