Residents awaiting clarity on vaccination protocols to make travel plans, travel agents say
Days after Oman announced it will exempt nationals from 103 countries from needing an entry visa for stay up to 10 days, travel agents in the UAE have said they are yet to see a surge in travel bookings to the neighbouring Gulf state.
UAE travel agents have said that as per their surveys with residents, most are awaiting clarity on vaccination protocols to make travel plans for the upcoming holiday season. TP Sudheesh, general manager of Deira Travel and Tourist Agency said the demand may only arise in the first quarter of 2021, once vaccination protocols have been clarified.
