Petra, in Jordan, is worldwide famous for being one of the New 7 Wonders of the World, chosen in 2007 by the global voting campaign carried out by the New7Wonders organization. In the last edition of the ITB Berlin 2019, Jordan has been awarded with two prizes that recognize its continuous effort and work focused on the development of the country’s tourism sector.

Abed Al-Razzaq Arabiyat, CEO at the Jordan Tourism Board, explained that this recognition consolidates Jordan’s position as a chosen destination in the international markets.

The Archaeological Park of Petra has been selected by the Green Destinations Foundation as one of the 100 best sustainable destinations for 2019. Petra has also been selected as a finalist in the category called Best of Culture and Communities, thanks to its world leadership in the protection of tradition and cultural customs, involving local communities and avoiding the mass tourism.
