[Oman-l] Oman news from arabia.com

Re tourist village article.
These are new figures to me. The one for tourist numbers that I have seen
quoted here (in Oman) most commonly is about 35K tourists for the last year.
As for the rial earned by hotels - this is pretty amazing given there are so
few hotels. On the whole I find the figures VERY hard to believe.
