Jordan’s Petra regains after massive tourists surge in 2022
(MENAFN) Tending to his camels in Petra, Jordan’s remarkable archeological marvel buried deep in a desert canyon, Hussein Bdoul is all smiles: The tourists industry is flying.
Following years in which the COVID-19 epidemic effected the storied “Rose City” to turn into an empty town, the top of seven is regaining with visitors’ boosts, presenting tourists rides on his decorated animals.
“Tourism has returned and the numbers are even greater,” as stated by Bdoul, who is 35 years old, wearing Bedouin garb with a red keffiyeh scarf on top of his long black hair, reflecting on a recovery in 2022.
“At the time of the coronavirus disease pandemic, we did not see anyone in Petra,” Bdoul asserted — a disaster for the town where, he stated that “90 percent of people work in tourism.”
Jordan tourism administration announced that Petra is back in business and attracted 900,000 travelers in 2022, going near the record of 1 million achieved in 2019.
Jordan as a whole welcomed 4.6 million visitors last year— nearly four times the amount from 2020 — raising a profit for the nation of USD5.3 billion.
