Published 17 May,2021 via The Jordan Times AMMAN — Hotel occupancy rates in Aqaba during Eid Al Fit reached 95 per cent of the permissible capacity in accordance with the defence order, president of the Jordan Hotel Association Abdul Hakim Al Hindi said.
Hindi pointed out that hotel occupancy rates at the Dead Sea reached 85 per cent, while in Amman it was only 15 per cent, and the lowest rates were in Wadi Musa and Petra.
“People prefer to go the beach and the pools, therefore Wadi Musa and Petra were the most affected as they are archaeological sites, and there were not any tourists from abroad,” Hindi told The Jordan Times on Sunday.
