An inspiring encounter for our three GUtech students, Layal Al Riyami, Dina Al Mohamed, and Youssef Al Harthy during the WTTC Global Summit 2026 in Valletta, Malta.
As part of their participation in the Future[Re]Set youth initiative, the students had the valuable opportunity to meet with Eng. Ayyad Al Balushi, Group CEO of OMRAN Group, and Mr. Shabib Al Maamari, Managing Director of Visit Oman.
During the meeting, Eng. Ayyad Al Balushi shared his vision for the future of tourism in Oman, highlighting the sector’s enormous potential and encouraging the students to explore the exciting career and entrepreneurial opportunities it offers.
The encounter reflected the very spirit of Future[Re]Set: creating meaningful connections between today’s industry leaders and tomorrow’s tourism professionals.
The tourism sector needs the fresh perspectives, creativity, and ambitions of Gen Z, just as young people need inspiration, mentorship, and opportunities from industry leaders.
Our sincere appreciation to Eng. Ayyad Al Balushi and Mr. Shabib Al Maamari for taking the time to engage with our students and inspire the next generation of tourism leaders in Oman.
