Speaking to representatives of the
Jordanian press
and travel and tourism agents, in the presence of a number of the Tunisian
tourism sector leaders, Belhassine said the two countries seek to overcome
obstacles that could impede development in the important and vital sector,
Petra said.
Both countries also aim to benefit from the
“distinguished” Jordanian expertise in the tourism sector and harness their
tourism, historical and religious heritage to promote and expand joint tourist
activity, he told the Jordanian delegation, while touring his country’s tourist
attractions, he added, according to Petra.
It said Belhassine pointed out that he hoped more
Tunisian tourists will visit Jordan next year, similar to 2019, when 7,000
Tunisians visited the Kingdom.
Fields of joint tourism cooperation are
“remarkable,” he said, adding that virtual and in-person meetings were held
with the Jordanian Minister of Tourism recently to enhance cooperation areas
between the two countries and achieve higher tourism exchange.
Tunisia and Jordan have similarities, primarily the reliance
on the human asset, which provides prosperous opportunities for the two
countries, he said. He referred to Tunisia’s circumstantial difficulties and
problems due to the
COVID-19 pandemic and other internal developments that
affected the tourist sector’s recovery.
