Muscat: The move is aimed at regulating and developing the tourism sector, while also enhancing the labour market’s capacity to absorb national and skilled talent. These newly approved roles have been added to the Unified Gulf Guide for Professional Classification and Description, ensuring alignment with regional standards and consistency across the sector.

The titles have been systematically classified and distributed based on various approved economic activities, covering hotels, resorts, hotel facilities, rest houses, chalets, heritage inns, and guest houses.

By offering employers more precise tools for defining workforce needs, the update is expected to lead to improved performance across institutions and greater human resource efficiency in one of Oman’s fastest-growing sectors.

According to the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism, the initiative is part of a broader joint effort with the Ministry of Labour to support tourism development and create an enabling environment for growth and investment.
