The main function of the tourism industry is to interconnect the different service providers with the aim of serving the best to the end users. The purpose of the research is to design optimum personalized tourism packages using operations research optimization tools based on the needs of the tourists. The economic impact is saving time, effort, and money in touring through Oman's tourism locations. the designed personalized packages may attract more tourists, and this contributes economically in the tourism industry. Considering the service providers, this will lead to improvements in operations effectiveness in the service provided.
