(PRWEB UK) 29 August 2014 -- Travellers are being given the chance to win a 10-day walking holiday to Oman in return for their votes in the People’s Choice category of the World Responsible Tourism Awards 2014, a global search for the most inspiring and enduring holiday experiences sponsored by the Sultanate of Oman Ministry of Tourism.

Walk through stunning canyons, explore remote abandoned villages, visit the Grand Mosque and souks, and enjoy traditional dinners and wild, desert camping.

Post this

Members of the public who vote for one of the 9 nominees of the People’s Choice category by Monday, September 15, could be whisked away along with a friend to walk through stunning canyons, explore remote abandoned villages, visit the Grand Mosque and souks, and enjoy traditional dinners and wild, desert camping.

All they have to do to enter the prize draw is vote for their favourite from among a selection of the World Responsible Tourism Awards’ previous winners in a category decided entirely by public vote.

Each of the nominees has provided a special video for their entry, sharing everything from their tips for responsible tourism, to the secret of what makes their responsible organisation special.

Members of the public can watch the videos and cast their votes at the following link: http://www.worldresponsibletourismawards.com/peopleschoice.

About the Holiday

Oman, the most beautiful of the Gulf States, boasts a rugged landscape with a mountain range whose rock formations are both spectacular and of immense geological interest. In the wild Hajar mountains, travellers will walk through huge wadis and soaring valleys, passing occasional abandoned villages. The trip finishes with a stunning cliff-top coastal walk with incredible views back to the Eastern Hajar mountains. There is also time to explore Muscat old town, and Nizwa Fort, the former capital.
