The Ministry of Tourism started the first forum under the name 'The Little Tourist' from July 8 to 19 for the students from fourth to tenth grade, in order to provide the participants (children of staff) with many useful life skills and enhance their abilities and development, in addition to investing the leisure time of students during summer vacation for their benefit.
The forum included many scientific and practical training programmes as diverse as French language courses and courses for the development of English language.
In addition, the forum included a workshop by specialists from the 'Morshed' magazine about the personality of the guide and some of the positions and historical figures that are rich in Omani history, accompanied by a visual presentation on the history of Oman. The forum also included training programmes on the preparation of children in financial management, savings and a training course entitled 'You are No 1', which aims to make the child a record in the development of self and moral excellence and creativity.
The programme also included tourist lectures on tourism guidance and tourism awareness, recreational tournaments, incentive prizes, skills and intelligence games aimed at introducing and training students to develop their creativity and encourage their talents and intellectual abilities. The forum also included visits to some tourist attractions in Muscat, such as The Grand Mosque, the Museum of Natural History and the National Museum, in order to introduce the participating students to the distinctive tourist attractions in the Governorate of Muscat and the ancient history and heritage it holds.
The implementation of such events is part of efforts of the Ministry of Tourism to spread tourist awareness.
