The primary sites for this activity are Petra (a listed wonder of the world), Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea, the Baptism Site of Christ and Amman. Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, the Jordan Tourism Board and along with the private sector will aim to upgrade cultural and heritage offerings in these and other secondary locations. By adding such products to traveller itineraries, tourists will opt to stay for a further length of time when visiting Jordan. There is plenty of opportunity for investment in the tourism sector as well as potential for attracting increased tourism between Ireland and Jordan.
