The University's gesture to take them to the finest Universities and Landmarks on a visit in the United Kingdom to urge them to pursue higher education, is a definite sign of immense potential, knowledge and innovation that our youth will bring to Oman through education abroad. Hats off to our team, who pulled off the arrangements for the trip!

LITHUANIA
A QUIET STROLL AT SUNSET.
A land of wood and water, proud, independent Lithuania (Lietuva) is fast being recognized as one of Europe's gems. Located at the southeastern shore of the Baltic Sea, it's a pocket-sized republic that's a nature-lover's delight, yet lacks nothing in urban excitement. The temperatures during summers are 20
°C
during the day and 14
°C at
night. The capital, Vilnius, is a beguiling artists' enclave, its timeworn courtyards, cobbled streets and baroque churches animated by the vibrant, optimistic culture of today. Lithuania also has Gothic, Renaissance and baroque architecture, and 18th-century cathedral built on a pagan temple site. Hilltop Gediminas' Tower, a symbol of the city and the nation, offers sweeping views. People of Lithuania love basketball, do attend a game while you're here.

| OMAN SEES REWARDS BY FOCUSING ON HIGH-END TOURISM
Broad-based appeal and a growing reputation as an attractive destination for key markets suggest Oman could comfortably meet its long-term targets for the tourism industry, which include increasing visitor numbers to 11.7m by 2040.
While the sultanate's popularity is growing, data shows a marked rise in interest among visitors from Germany. The country has leapfrogged the UK and the Philippines to become Oman's third-largest tourism source market, behind the GCC and India, according to figures from the National Centre for Statistics and Information. Arrivals from Germany reached 98,470 in the first four months of 2017, up from between 42,000 and 45,000 in the same period last year.
Growth so far this year comes on the back of rapid expansion in the wider tourism industry in recent years. There are signs the country's National Tourism Strategy (NTS), launched in June 2016, is beginning to further boost results. The government has pledged to invest OR20bn ($51.9bn) in the industry as part of the initiative, which aims create more than 500,000 jobs.
The strategy's objectives include targeting 11.7m international and domestic tourists by 2040, with 5m sourced from overseas, although given current growth trajectories, these numbers may prove to be conservative. International visitors totalled 3m in 2016, up from 2.47m the previous year, according to media reports, marking a rise of 21%. Arrivals had already reached 1.3m in the first four months of 2017, putting the country on target to achieve a full-year total of almost 4m.
The increase in visitor numbers can be attributed to a number of factors, including the long-term brand development strategy developed by the Ministry of Tourism (MoT), regional geo-political factors and global trends in luxury tourism.
In 2010, the sultanate launched its first global branding campaign under the tagline "Beauty has an address - Oman", and has since continued to invest in marketing the country as a premium destination.
An emphasis on quality and authenticity dovetails with global trends in luxury travel. According to Euromonitor International's "Global Luxury Travel Trends Report" for 2017, "... conspicuous consumption is giving way to conscientious consumption and more meaningful and 'authentic' luxury travel experiences."
To maintain momentum in the sector, later in 2017 the MoT is expected to roll out a digital marketing campaign targeting several markets, including Europe, China and India.
The country also plans to build on its reputation as a provider of conscientious luxury by promoting responsible tourism through the development of green lodges and heritage homes. Its efforts in digital marketing were acknowledged in April when the MoT won the regional "Best Usage of Social Media" award at the Arab Travel Market Expo 2017, which took place in Dubai.

INDIA BECOMING A POPULAR DESTINATION FOR OMANIS
India's Embassy in Muscat has issued more than 49,000 visas to Omanis, including 31,900 tourist visas so far this year, a senior official revealed.
In 2016, the Embassy of India in Muscat issued more than 95,000 visas. The figures were released during the "Know India Seminar," which was organised by the Embassy of India in Muscat in association with India Tourism, Dubai.
n recent times, India has also emerged as a preferred destination for medical and wellness tourism, with numerous Omanis choosing India for their medical treatment at various state-of-the-art hospitals. "People travel to India for medical treatment because India has excellent health care facilities. Indian doctors are well-known for their competence and experience and the cost of medical treatment in India is much lower when compared with other countries," an embassy official said.
With a view to further streamline and rationalise the existing visa fee regime, the Government of India has introduced various changes in the existing visa fee structure for foreign visitors travelling to India, including for Omanis.
In order to increase the number of medical tourists to India and to project India as a preferred medical destination due to its world-class medical facilities, the Government has reduced medical visa fee, compared with the Tourist Visa fee.
From April 1 this year, Medical Visa applicants have to pay
OMR 30.900 for a visa valid up to six months and
OMR 46.300 for a visa valid for up to a year.

Qatar's Ministry of Interior (MoI), Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA) and Qatar Airways has announced that Qatar will allow visa-free entry for citizens of 80 countries, with immediate effect.

Depending on the nationality of the visitor, the waiver will either be valid for 180 days, from the date of issue, and allow the visitor to spend a total of 90 days in Qatar (multiple-entry waiver); or it will be valid for 30 days from the date of issue and entitle the visitor to spend up to 30 days in Qatar with the possibility of applying for an extension of the waiver for an additional 30 days (multiple-entry waiver).

Rates at hotels and resorts across Dubai continue to fall, as more rooms come on stream and put pressure on hoteliers.
Initial data released by hotel industry research firm STR showed that room prices in the emirate have gotten even more affordable in the summer, costing an average Dh471.25 per night in July, down by 11.5 per cent compared to the same period last year.
The decline is mainly due to the room inventory growing faster than guest numbers. "Dubai's hotel performance continues to be affected by supply expansion," STR said in a statement.
While demand increased by 1.8 per cent in July, room supply went up by 5.6 per cent, leaving plenty of accommodations empty and revenues falling.
Hotel occupancy rates across Dubai averaged at 65.7 per cent, falling by 3.6 per cent compared to a year earlier. As a result, the revenue per available room dropped by 14.7 per cent to Dh309.76
STR analysts, however, pointed out that July performance was also affected by the Ramadan calendar shift, with the Eid al-Fitr holiday falling in late June this year versus early July last year
.
"However, Dubai did not experience as severe downturn as several other Middle Eastern markets during this year's Ramadan period," STR said.

T3 CONNECT - REACTIVATED!
We are happy to inform you that T3 Connect - a Staff Training and Enhancement Programme organized by the team members of Travel Point, has kickstarted in July. In addition to a real-time fun online quiz for staff every week, the T3 Connect Team carried out a Quiz Contest for teams of two persons each, to keep the energy and enthusiasm in the office going. The participation has been resounding!
A wonderful T3connect 'All about Oman' themed event was organized to celebrate the festivities of Eid Al Adha in the office. Conducted in Arabic, it brought out the voice in the otherwise unheard.
An enthusiastic and exciting afternoon, it all kicked off in the company of all our colleagues from various outlets.
The quiz on Oman started with nine teams; 18 contestants. Some shy, some gung ho and some beautifully attired in the lovely colourful Omani look, skilfully managed by an equally lovely quiz master Sara Chortani. You had to be there to feel the excitement!
Congratulations to all the participants in the quiz and to our ultimate winners, Sulaiman Al Sulaimi & Yahya Al Waheedi from Arabia Cars, now Sixt Oman. The National Dress competition was a close call with the ultimate winner Sara Chortani being selected by the judge, one of our longest serving employees Mr. Khalfan, while Samir Al Zadjali walked away with the first place in the men's competition. Well done to all of them. A thank you message from the CEO emphasised that T3connect is very much about the people who are the engineers of the company. The afternoon finally wound down with an enjoyable lunch and some bonding time with one another. And after that it was business as usual, but with a feeling of being a part of something special hanging in the air. Like they say, it's always good to stay connected.

JAMIL SAYS HELLO FROM QATAR!
Our team member Mr. Jamil Al Balushi, Manager - Government Sales, took a trip to Doha, and returned absolutely refreshed with fascinating insights into the history of this amazing city.
To him it was an enchanting experience as he enjoyed a relaxing city tour, taking in all the major sights of Doha. Qatar is a festival city and will never fail to surprise you. Qatar, is a land rooted in ancient cultures, authentic soul, where past learning informs contemporary vision. Doha, the capital of the peninsular Arabian Gulf country Qatar, is a modern city on Doha Bay. Ringing its downtown waterfront are numerous parks and the Corniche Promenade. On a man-made island, the I.M. Pei-designed Museum of Islamic Art houses an extensive collection from across the Muslim world. At Souq Waqif, a traditional market, vendors offer goods like clothing, crafts and spices. He visited the Msheireb Enrichment Centre on the Corniche for a fascinating insight into Qatar's past, present and future development - a great introduction to the country's culture and heritage. He was absolutely delighted as he had his leisurely lunch by the marina on The Pearl-Qatar. The Dhow Cruise on Doha Bay with panoramic views of the Corniche and spectacular high-rise towers was a marvel. He experienced the atmospheric and lively street life at Souq Waqif, picked up some bargain souvenirs, then relaxed over a memorable Middle Eastern dining experience at one of the area's many restaurants. The next day was an unforgettable visit to the Camel Races at Al Shahaniya, 20 kilometres west of the capital, then onward to the Zikrit Peninsula, with its unspoiled beaches and spectacular wind-carved rock formations. He ended the day unwinding at one of Doha's Luxury Spas and spent the evening at the Katara Cultural Village, and indulged in the sights, entertainment and cultural offerings, with a delicious dinner of Arabic delicacies. His next day was a visit to the Doha Golf Club, home of the European PGA Qatar Masters tournament.
He then splurged on some luxury tags at Doha's massive Shopping Malls. A trip to the Desert Safari through the dunes to Khor Al Adaid, the Inland Sea, was vibrant and the spectacular desert sunset followed by a traditional barbeque banquet and overnight camping under the stars in a Bedouin-style encampment was noteworthy. He says, while Qatar is a small country with most sights easily accessible no more than an hour or two from Doha, it may be advisable to stick close to the capital if your time is limited. What he missed however, was a visit to the Banana Island, a luxury resort by the Anantara Group. It's the most beautiful beach retreat of the Middle East. Ever tried a visit?

RECIPE OF THE MONTH
THE APPLE CHEESE
A LITHUANIAN DELICACY
Ingredients:
10 lb apples, peeled, cored and finely diced
3 lb sugar
1/5 teaspoons grounded cinnamon
Method:
(1) Mix the apples and sugar and leave to rest for 48 hours, until a juice is formed.
(2) Strain off the juice into a preserving pot, then cook over a low heat until half has evaporated in the cooking, and the remaining juice has darkened and thickened.
(3) Add 3/4 of the apple slices and cook, stirring constantly, until the apples are quite thick and no juice remains. This will take about 1 hour.
(4) Add the remaining apple slices and cinnamon, and cook until this last batch of added apples is soft and light in color, giving the cheese a marbled effect. Pour the apple mass into a damp cheese bag, tie it closed, place between two boards and weigh down for 2 days.
(5) Hang the apple cheese in an airy spot to dry. Store in a cool, dry place.
