The ''Discover Oman''s Beauty'' competition aims to increase interest in domestic tourism, as it is one of the pillars of the tourism industry in the sultanate. GCC tourists are also encouraged to discover the beauty of the sultanate''s beaches and mountains this summer.

MoT posts three questions on its Facebook page every week testing the knowledge of participants on different tourist destinations in the sultanate. One question in English is posted every Tuesday while two questions in Arabic are posted on Sundays and Thursdays.

The competition is open to residents of the sultanate as well as people from abroad, with the winners getting a chance to stay overnight and enjoy iftar at one of the sultanate''s hotels.

Haitham al Ghassani, assistant director general for tourism promotion at MoT said, ''Engaging with the residents of the sultanate is one of our main priorities, and through this competition we would like to encourage our residents to discover the beautiful attractions of this country and promote these destinations.

''Our presence on social media also gives the sultanate the opportunity to be present on a global scale.''

To enter the competition, participants must answer the questions from their personal Facebook accounts using a link provided.

The winners are announced the next day and they can receive their prizes by visiting the Director General of Tourism Promotion at the Ministry of Tourism at the end of every week.
