00:07:25to showcase our investment opportunities
00:07:29in this field to
00:07:32event, of course, comes as a result of the
00:07:36Swiss President's visit to His Majesty in
00:07:38Oman on the 25th.
00:07:43And it was one of the main pillars
00:07:47that they decided to
00:07:50try to reconcile between the Swiss

00:08:56in Europe, and it is interesting from an investment
00:08:59perspective.
00:09:02to medical technologies, but expands to cover
00:09:06drug safety and hospital hygiene.
00:09:09These are areas that open up opportunities for the Sultanate
00:09:12of Oman for partnerships that support the security of medical
00:09:15supplies, develop services, and link investment opportunities
00:09:19with the needs of the health sector, while keeping

00:11:35speech, we talked about the dark side of artificial intelligence, which is
00:11:39the lack of trust in the field of artificial intelligence. Today, there is deepfaking
00:11:42using it, also the possibility of accessing data, the possibility of designing
00:11:46data by artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence today was created
00:11:49to satisfy the user, so it will answer wrong answers
00:11:53and make you believe that the answers it provided
00:11:57data, the presence of artificial intelligence requires precise governance,

00:21:52The savings system, which is scheduled to be implemented
00:21:55in July of next year for non-Omani workers in the Sultanate
00:21:58of Oman, is one of the mechanisms aimed at enhancing the protection
00:22:02of workers' rights related to end-of-service benefits.
00:22:06The system is based on the employer paying a monthly
00:22:09subscription of 9% of the basic wage
00:22:12of the non-Omani worker. The employer bears
00:22:16this percentage and it is not deducted from the worker's
00:22:20wage.
00:22:22The savings system is based on the employer paying a monthly
00:22:26subscription of 9% of the basic wage
00:22:29of the non-Omani worker, and it is not deducted
00:22:32from his wage. The system replaces
00:22:36the end-of-service gratuity for the period of service
00:22:41of its implementation on July 19, 2027,
00:22:45while the worker's rights for the previous
00:22:48period remain reserved and are dealt with
00:22:52according to the options and provisions of the Social
00:22:55Protection Law. The system aims to enhance the protection
00:22:59of workers' rights and regulate their end-of-service entitlements
00:23:03by providing a clear mechanism for preserving and managing
00:23:06their savings and determining the financial obligations
00:23:10of employers. Its provisions apply to non-Omani
00:23:13workers in government administrative units, as
00:23:17well as non-Omani workers in private
00:23:20commercial sector establishments who are subject to the provisions
00:23:24of the Labor Law.
00:23:29to non-Omani workers who are not
00:23:32subject to the provisions of the Labor Law,
00:23:37workers. The system differentiates between the period
00:23:40of service prior to its implementation and
00:23:43the period thereafter, thereby preserving
00:23:46the rights due for each period. As for
00:23:50the end-of-service gratuity for the period prior to
00:23:53July 2027, it will be settled
00:23:56according to the established options, either by keeping
00:24:00it with the employer and paying it to the worker
00:24:03upon termination of his service according to the regulating
00:24:07provisions, or by paying it to the worker at the start
00:24:10of the system's application, or by depositing it in
00:24:14the worker's account with the Social Protection Fund. The system
00:24:18comes as part of the development
00:24:21system in the Sultanate of Oman, and in line
00:24:24with international trends and practices that enhance
00:24:27the protection of workers' rights, regulate the financing
00:24:32clearer and more sustainable mechanisms for dealing
00:24:35with end-of-service rights. It also reflects
00:24:39the transition from the accumulation of end-of-service gratuity
00:24:42as an obligation due at the end of the employment
00:24:45relationship to the formation of worker savings
00:24:48on a regular basis, a trend towards enhancing
00:24:52the pre-protection of rights and regulating
00:24:55them throughout the employment period, which achieves
00:24:57greater clarity for the worker
00:25:01and the employer. The economic bulletin has ended, and back to colleagues
00:25:04Youssef and Buthaina.
00:25:09Thank you, Fares. From the heart of the British
00:25:13capital, London, the Sultanate of Oman concludes its
00:25:17participation in the World Travel Market 2026 with a vision that
00:25:21goes beyond promoting its tourism components
00:25:24towards new international partnerships. Its tourism
00:25:28components also contribute to wider investment
00:25:31in technology and innovation to consolidate its presence
00:25:34on the world tourism map.
00:25:37On its third and final day, the Omani presence at the World
00:25:40Travel Market in London continues to strengthen the Sultanate
00:25:44of Oman's position on the international tourism map through
00:25:47new partnerships and initiatives that
00:25:50keep pace with digital transformations in the travel
00:25:54industry. Our participation in WTM London this
00:25:57year is in appreciation of the efforts of the Small
00:26:00and Medium Enterprises Development Authority in cooperation
00:26:03with the Ministry of Tourism. We participated through
00:26:07six institutions that we brought from
00:26:10Oman. Of course, we screened and selected them
00:26:13to be of high quality. The importance of our presence
00:26:16today is to send a clear message to all our partners
00:26:20about our real desire to expand and serve
00:26:25a global level. But our focus, of course,
00:26:28in Oman Visa is on the digital aspect. We have a specialized
00:26:33platform for search and booking
00:26:36operations. This platform today has more than 300
00:26:40partners, more than 150 hotels, and is linked with more
00:26:43than 80 airlines to facilitate the search and booking
00:26:47process for Oman's products and experiences.
00:26:50Among the most prominent stages of the 2026
00:26:53participation is the launch of a joint promotional
00:26:57campaign with Visa International aimed
00:27:00at attracting tourists through data-driven
00:27:03marketing, in addition to launching the Oman
00:27:06Tourism Platform, which uses artificial intelligence
00:27:09to facilitate trip
00:27:13about tourism experiences in the Sultanate of Oman.
00:27:16Of course, WTM is a very great opportunity
00:27:19for us to exchange experiences and get to know
00:27:22each other and have partnerships between
00:27:25us and other countries. This is a great opportunity
00:27:29that brings all countries together. This participation
00:27:32is not the first, and it certainly will not be the last. WTM
00:27:35is essential for the English market and the European market
00:27:38in general. This year's participation was very distinguished for the Sultanate
00:27:44for the efforts they put in, and there is great hope,
00:27:47God willing, for more progress and success. The participation
00:27:50also witnessed the announcement that Oman will host
00:27:54the Luxury Wedding Planners Conference in
00:27:562027,
00:27:59in a step aimed at enhancing events tourism
00:28:02and attracting new markets. Three
00:28:06days of meetings and partnerships in London
00:28:10summarize an Omani trend that goes beyond
00:28:13traditional promotion towards smarter tourism,
00:28:17more diverse experiences, and a wider presence in global
00:28:20markets. For Oman Television, Reem Al Nima,
