In Jordan, the epidemiological situation is giving confidence to in-bound tourism to the “Golden Triangle”, Chief Commissioner of Petra Development and Tourism Region Authority (PDTRA) Suleiman Al Farajat said.


In a welcoming ceremony, this comment of Farajat was made on Thursday prior to a three-day southern media tour, arranged by the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and the Jordan Tourism Board, which concluded on Saturday.


The tour featured quite a few events in the “Golden Triangle”— Aqaba, Petra and Wadi Rum — as part of the “Urdun Jannah” programme.


The chief commissioner highlighted that tourism programs help in reinstating the place of Petra on the global map of tourism.


“We are sending a positive message to the entire world regarding the health conditions in Jordan in combating the pandemic and thus encouraging tourist groups from different countries to come to Jordan and visit Petra and other tourist, archaeological and religious sites,” Farajat said.


Farajat pointed out that the “Urdun Jannah” program was introduced to hearten up domestic tourism which has considerably contributed to the recovery of Petra’s tourism.


The effect of the program also reflected on the revival of other financial sectors, and the service of the locals of Petra in tourism and service facilities, he added.


The pandemic has emphasized that in Petra, over 80 percent of people depend on tourism as their main and only source of income, according to Farajat.


“We are hoping for a full recovery and for tourist numbers to return to their rates as they were in 2019 and even more,” he added.
