A total of 41,466 guests visited Petra city during November of this year, the highest number of monthly tourists since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in March, 2020, the Petra Development and Tourism Region Authority (PDTRA) said on Thursday.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
According to PDTRA statistics, the tourists included 32,903 foreign visitors, 2,093 Arab visitors and 6,470 Jordanians, compared with 39,272 visitors of different nationalities in October.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
PDTRA Chief Commissioner Suleiman Farajat said that the increase is due to the launching of low-cost airline flights and cruise ships, which positively indicates tourism recovery in Petra.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Farajat highlighted the enhanced business tourism in the city, as most hotels, restaurants and tourist shops have reopened, getting up and ready to provide their services after the coronavirus lockdowns.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
