Tourism planning in Jordan is one of the main sources of income for the Jordanian state and one of the most important tools for tourism development at present, especially with the absence of
safe tourism in the Arab region through the many wars and the current security events in the region. The area aims at increasing real and national income in these dire circumstances of economic downturn and slow development, which in the opinion of the Jordanian politicians requires an exit strategy. Thus the development of civilization which is inclusive of all the natural
elements, human and material attractions in the country, especially in the city of Aqaba, should be attracting tourists. Hence, tourism planning in Jordan is a necessity for sustainable
development which enables developing countries, especially those like Jordan, to face competition from international tourism markets. Therefore, the planning of tourism development is an integral part of the economic and social development plan of the state, which requires the obligation of all ministries, regions, agencies and governmental and non-governmental departments to implement the tourism development policy as a joint work program of all
stakeholders such as the government and private sector. Based on the findings of the research, the researchers discuss the most important ideas addressed that may serve the problematic tourism issues in Jordan. |
