US-Israel war on Iran leaves Jordan's Petra nearly empty of tourists
"The scene reflected the collapse of tourism in Jordan. The war in Gaza had led to an 80 to 90 percent drop in tourism, while the Iran conflict had reduced the number of foreign visitors to almost zero."
Jordan's Petra, a tourist site, is largely empty due to the war in the Middle East, affecting local livelihoods. Foreign visitors have decreased, impacting the economy and employment of 300,000 people. Tourism contributes 14% to Jordan's GDP, generating $7.8bn in revenue annually.
