Quarterly hotel revenues in Oman rose 8.4% year-on-year to OMR85.4 million in Q1 2026, says leading real estate advisory and hospitality sector property consultant, Cavendish Maxwell. The sustained revenue growth – achieved despite a softer hospitality sector performance during the quarter – was primarily driven by room revenues, which climbed 13% to OMR53.2 million, the company said. Revenue performance was strongest at the start of the year, increasing almost 27% in January and nearly 9% in February compared to January and February last year. March revenues declined 21% against March 2025.
