PETRA, JORDAN- APRIL 3: Tourists ride in a carriage pulled by a horse as they visit the legendary Petra, Jordan's most famous tourist attraction on April 3, 2015 in Petra, Jordan. Stakeholders have put together an urgent marketing plan to 'salvage' the Kingdom's tourism industry by promoting national tourist products in new and traditional markets worldwide, according to Tourism Minister Nayef Al Fayez. Visits to Jordan and its famous archeological site of Petra have plummeted because of unrest in the broader Middle East, and discounts on airfare and tours to the country have yet to bring visitor numbers back to levels seen in years past. The number of Arab tourists has not been affected by the regional turmoil, but the number of visitors to archaeological sites has recently dropped and those who visit these sites are mostly non-Arabs.
