In today’s competitive and globalised world, workplaces often resemble a melting pot of cultures, languages, and traditions. Acknowledging this diversity and fostering a sense of unity among employees is essential for a harmonious and productive work environment. Mezoon Travel leading TMC that specializes in bringing dreams to life through travel experiences, has been celebrating the vibrant Indian festival of Onam with its multicultural staff members for the past four years.

Embracing Cultural Diversity

Sultanate of Oman is home to a diverse workforce hailing from various corners of the globe. This culture enriches the company’s atmosphere, encouraging the exchange of ideas and experiences. Like every year, this year too, the celebration of Onam, at Mazoon Travels saw the participation of all the employees and their families including children with euphoria and increased enthusiasm starting from the intricate floral carpets (known as pookalams), traditional Diya lightings, singing to the sumptuous Onam Sadhya feast.
