Oman sets new tourism vision for 2040
By: Times News Service
The move also fits in with the policy of efficient government investment envisaged in the Tenth Five-Year Plan.
Muscat: New decisions taken by the government will help streamline investment in the country’s tourism sector, which is a key part of Oman’s economic diversification plans under Vision 2040.
Tourism has been earmarked as one of a number of important sectors targeted for expansion, to reduce the country’s dependence on oil-and-gas based sources of income, and introduce more revenue streams to build a stronger and more resilient economy that will benefit the country and its people in the long-term.
BEIRUT: Renewable energy will attract $11 trillion in investment in coming decades as production costs fall, according to a report by Al Sharq, citing an analysis by Bloomberg NEF, the newswire’s research arm.
The Bloomberg NEF report said there was a need for a significant increase in the number of renewable energy projects, adding that wind and solar energy projects will account for 56 percent of all global electricity sources by 2050.
Gas will be the only fossil fuel that will increase its share of demand in coming years, according to the report.
The spread of electric vehicles will affect future of oil demands, with the report saying that about 65 percent of road trips will be done using electric cars by 2050.
Cairo: Qataris have complained about hikes in fees for employing foreign domestic helpers, blaming disruptions resulting from coronavirus-related restrictions for the problem.
They said that fees for hiring domestic helpers have soared to 4,500 Qatari riyals per month. In addition to the hiring fees, sponsors now have to bear all other expenses such as those of quarantine on arrival costing 2,400 to 4,000 riyals depending on the isolation place as well as travel tickets.
Amir Al Bakir, a sponsor, told the Qatari newspaper Al Sharq that he had contracted the recruitment of two domestic helpers earlier last year, but their arrival has been hampered by shutdowns of airports due to the pandemic. “The fees were lower before the corona as I paid 11,000 riyals each for employing two Filipinas. Now I’m required by the owner of the recruitment office to pay costs of their quarantine although the contracts for hiring them were signed before the pandemic,” he said.
