Accompanying talk about statistics and numbers in all tourist visits are announced by the partial including a wave of controversy and questions, among her supporters, and skeptical in their accuracy or even completely correct, and both sides point of view, which is approaching somewhat of logic.
And justify opinions which confirm the figures the accuracy and validity of its point of view in the fact that the multiplicity of references issuing figures and not rely on a single reference, largely error tracts reduces, these Statistics issued by the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, which relies them on several official views of the public and private sectors, such as the Ministry of Interior and security services with regard to the movement of tourists through the crossings in the UK, and the central bank in respect of tourism revenue numbers in addition to the Department of Statistics, on the numbers entering and leaving the Kingdom of visitors to Jordan.
In the view of the opinions skeptical accurately Statistics and figures that are calculated each person entering the Kingdom and not just tourists, including overseas citizens and visitors to transit, and anyone who enters the Jordanian territories for any reason whatsoever, so that the tourism sector in decline for years and talk about rising rates being advertised between Every now and then is a matter of minutes.
In reading for »Constitution» about the fact that statistics and data tourism and its accuracy, which announced between now and then, is it seems clear where the permanent increase the number of tourists from the side and increase tourism income on the other hand, experts felt that it needed more scrutiny the fact that workers in the sector perceiving tourism specifically decline in the number of tour groups coming to the country, which requires a practical mechanism to resolve the dialectic Statistics tourist mode.
The student speakers «constitution» not to dramatize talk about any negatives in this context, and specifically in terms of questioning the internal and external tourism movement, because this contributes to the reluctance of foreign tourists and investors to choose Jordan tourist destination and an investment for them, considering that the dialogue between the parties to the tourist equation leads to practical solutions.
In the views of speakers «constitution» details, said the Minister of Labour and Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, Dr. Nidal Qatamin that the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities is the entity that advertises Statistics tourism, noting that it is not based their production or the production of any data relating to the tourism sector of its own, but relies thus on several views of the public and private sectors, such as the interior ministry and security services with respect to the movement of tourists through the crossings in the UK, and the central bank in respect of tourism revenue numbers in addition to the Department of Statistics, concerning the preparation of entering and leaving visitors to Jordan and Jordan, as well as visitors to tourist sites data supervised by the ministry, as well as Aqaba, Petra and the Dead Sea, and others.
True for the private sector explained Qatamin that the ministry relies on the private sector in many of the data, such as the preparation of overnight tourists, and the rates of hotel occupancy, and other indicators, therefore, no doubt that information is questioning the data issued by the public and private sector institutions do not accept the ministry in any way Alahawwal.ouhol reflection of what is being said about what announce the figures on the ground, the ministry said Qatamin understands the impact on the surrounding tourism sector in Jordan problems, as is the case in the rest of the region, but the achievements of the tourism sector of the achievements over the past year and in these circumstances is great achievement shall not underestimate, however, the ministry is aware that there are some tourist facilities have been negatively affected by the events but the overall level of comfort in the situation to some extent.
He cautioned Qatamin in the same context that the ministry faces several problematic, represented by statements issued sometimes skeptical of internal and external tourism movement, and are in many cases false, which contributes to the reluctance of foreign tourists and investors the choice of Jordan, especially in such sensitive circumstances, calling for all components of the tourism sector to follow the style of dialogue directly and sit down with decision-makers in the public sector to discuss any problems and obstacles they may face.
For his part, Prime Tourist and Travel Agents Association Shaher Hamdan stressed the fact dialectic figures tourism statistics that advertise from time to time, and behind it are several reasons perhaps most notably with regard to the private sector that does not touch on the ground reflections figures which declares the existence of tourists and income tourist, specifically with regard to Alsaahih.oukal Hamdan groups unfortunately dialectic Statistics tourist has been going on for years, and can any observer that the observed decline in tourist activity very much, and the current season is very bad, but statistics published record all those who enter the Kingdom not only tourists, but all visitors and even visitors to transit, even «servants» are counted.
