dusitD2 Naseem Adventure Resort proudly announces its strategic partnerships with a growing number of local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and its ongoing collaboration with the Al Wafa Social Centre for the Rehabilitation of Persons with Disabilities at Al Jabal Al Akhdar. These initiatives highlight the resort’s commitment to fostering the cultural and economic vitality of the Jabal Akhdar region and promoting inclusivity within the community.
As part of its dedication to sustainability and community engagement, dusitD2 Naseem Adventure Resort has formed key partnerships with local pomegranate, rose, olive, bee and blueberry Omani farmers. These collaborations involve purchasing their produce for the resort’s daily operations, offering their products in a dedicated on-site shop, and providing guests with authentic experiences through workshops and farm visits. This approach not only supports local agriculture but also enriches the guest experience by showcasing the unique offerings of Jabal Akhdar.
The local pomegranate growers, renowned for cultivating the region’s prized fruit, are integral to the resort’s F&B offerings, especially during the Rumana season. Similarly, the rose producers enhance the hotel’s signature wellness treatments, using the region’s famed roses to create essential oils and rose water. Olive oil producers supply high-quality olive oil, enriching the resort’s culinary creations, while the beekeepers provide organic honey, which is utilised in both the kitchen and spa treatments. Additionally, blueberry cultivators offer their fresh berries for use in various dishes and beverages, adding a distinctive local flavour to the resort’s offerings. These collaborations not only ensure that the resort’s guests enjoy the freshest local ingredients but also support the preservation of traditional practices in the region.
“The partnerships we’ve established underscore our deep commitment to supporting the local economy and preserving the cultural essence of Jabal Akhdar,” said Jagdeep Thakral, General Manager of dusitD2 Naseem Adventure Resort. “By working closely with local farmers and businesses, we create a symbiotic relationship that benefits both the community and our guests. These collaborations enhance our service offerings while providing vital economic support to the region’s SMEs.”
In addition to these agricultural partnerships, dusitD2 Naseem Adventure Resort is also proud to collaborate with the Al Wafa Social Centre for the GIFTed Programme. This program provides internship opportunities for students with disabilities, offering them valuable work experience in the hospitality industry. The first batch of interns from the GIFTed Programme was successfully absorbed as full-time regular employees at the resort, marking a significant milestone in the resort’s commitment to inclusivity and social responsibility. This partnership not only provides meaningful employment opportunities but also strengthens the community by empowering individuals with disabilities.
Through these efforts, dusitD2 Naseem Adventure Resort plays a crucial role in enhancing the economic and social fabric of Jabal Akhdar. The resort’s initiatives aim to create a thriving environment where local businesses can flourish and individuals can find meaningful employment, ensuring long-term prosperity for the community.
