What National Travel & Tourism does

National Travel & Tourism (NTT Oman) is a privately-held travel, tourism, and freight management consortium headquartered in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman, operating under the legal entity National Tours, Travel & Cargo LLC since 1975. The company is part of the Saud Bahwan Group, the largest business conglomerate in Oman, and runs four principal service divisions: NTT Travel (corporate and leisure ticketing with seat/lounge/customer assistance), NTT Tours (destination management including individual FIT, group GIT, MICE-Pro events, and Cruise-Pro excursions), NTT Cargo (international freight forwarding with air, sea, and road transport plus customs clearance), and an Airline Representation arm acting as General Sales Agent for Air India and Air India Express. NTT also operates the Hertz car-rental franchise across Oman.

The underlying technology stack centers on the E2K freight management and tracking system, integrated globally with UPS Supply Chain Solutions as NTT serves as the UPS Authorized Service Contractor in Oman. Operations are supported by Oman Customs Licensed Broker credentials (30+ years), IATA accreditation (effective 2010) for retail operations and Travel Management Services, and a distributed office network spanning Muscat (headquarters, Wattayah, airport counter operating 24/7/365), Sohar, Salalah, Buraimi, and Khasab. The MICE division has access to a fleet of over 1,500 vehicles through the parent group.

NTT's revenue model is multi-stream: transaction fees and commissions on airline ticketing (leveraging volume from preferred Sales Agent status), professional service fees on freight forwarding and customs clearance, transaction fees on tour packages (priced per adult on twin-share basis with sample packages such as OMR 1,199 for Australia or OMR 95-98 for Khareef short breaks), and licensing/royalty-style fees from airline representation. Customer segments span high-value corporate accounts, MICE clients (named logos include Toyota, Bentley, Audi, HINO, Harvard Arab World Conference, CEPHED), individual leisure travelers, and cruise passengers, with B2B freight forwarding and customs brokerage for corporate and retail shippers. No revenue or financials are publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• Kanoo Travel: Yusuf Bin Ahmed Kanoo Group's travel and cargo division, operating a similar full-service model (corporate travel management, leisure tours, freight forwarding, airline GSA) across the GCC with deep Oman exposure. Highly comparable in product mix, B2B2C structure, and conglomerate backing.
• Bahwan Travel & Tourism: Sister company under the same Saud Bahwan Group umbrella that provides tour operations, MICE, and cargo services. Most direct comparison given shared parent, Oman focus, and overlapping travel + cargo + MICE portfolio.
• GAC Group: Gulf-based freight forwarding, logistics, and shipping services group with strong Oman presence. Directly comparable to NTT Cargo on freight forwarding, customs clearance, and supply chain management, including specialized cargo handling.
• Arabian Adventures: Emirates Group-owned DMC providing inbound tours, desert safaris, and city experiences across the UAE with MICE capabilities. Closely comparable to NTT Tours on DMC-led leisure tours and MICE in a Gulf country context.
