Omran to float tender for convention hall soon
Convention centre will help Omran secure a share of the global convention market
Oman Tourism Development Company (Omran), the investment arm of Oman government for developing tourism infrastructure, is set to float the tender for the second package for building exhibition halls of Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre.
The state-owned firm also said the infrastructure package for building roads and underground cabling works linked to the convention centre project will be awarded after upcoming Eid al-Fitr holidays.
The winning bidder will build column-free exhibition halls with a total floor space of 22,000 m2, which can be divided into five halls.
The convention centre near Seeb aims to help Omran in securing a share of the global exhibitions and conventions market, said CEO Wael bin Ahmed Al Lawati.
“Also, a tender for building the second hotel (a business hotel as part of the convention centre) will also be floated towards the end of the year,” he said.
“Thereafter, there will be continuous packages linked to the development of the convention centre,” he added.
