        1. 2010 - 8.2 million tourists but 2016 - halved
        2. Jordan Government still investing in tourism industry & want to promote is as being safe
          1. e.g. Luxury hotels - Crowne Plaza Dead Sea Resort and Spa / Saraya Aqaba / QAIA
            1. Political objective
        3. Transport links and how they've impacted appeal / development
          1. 4 international airports

              1. Handles 9 million passengers and flies to 62 destinations
              2. Queen Alia International Airport, King Hussein Airport, Marka International Airport and Maan Airport
                1. Appealing - inbound tourists know they can travel there easily
                  1. Trade - increasing country's balance of payment
                  2. Ferry from Aqaba to Nuweiba, crossing Red Sea
                    1. Combine visiting attractions in both countries in one trip
                      1. Culture vultures - Pyramids and Petra
                    2. Before Syrian War - travel by car or train even though they both take time
                    3. Conclusion
                      1. Jordan's transport links make it appealing
                        1. Easily accessed
                          1. Airports and ferry
                        2. Its location in the Middle East results in tourists not wanting to go
