The subdued construction sector of Oman got a shot in the arm with the recent announcement of the multimillion-riyal Yiti integrated tourism development, even as the sultanate’s Vision 2040 diversification programme progresses, keeping growth hopes alive.

To enhance national security and improve preparedness for climate-related disasters, Oman wanted to create a detailed digital twin of an area of approximately 250 sq km of the sultanate in and around Muscat.
