Farajat said that programs by the government and the Ministry of Tourism succeeded in attracting younger visitors to Petra, and these tend to stay longer, use traditional means of transportation, and lodge in three- or four-star hotels, which is, most of the time, an investment in the local community and therefore has a better economic return.
