Ayla receives representatives of Romanian media, tour operators

AMMAN — As part of its efforts to support tourism in Aqaba and position the city as a premier destination for local and international tourists, Ayla recently hosted a delegation from Romania, consisting of 55 representatives of tour operators and 26 members of the media from key television networks and newspapers, according to a company statement.

This visit was preceded by an introductory evening that gave visitors an overview of the city of Aqaba and its potential for tourism.

The programme for the visit was organised by Ayla in the Romanian capital of Bucharest earlier this month in preparation for the arrival of Romanian tourist groups to Aqaba, Petra and Wadi Rum on board low-cost charter flights, which are scheduled to be launched in March.

It is expected that around 3,800 tourists will use the new charter flight programme within the first three months of its launch, according to statement.

The Managing Director of Ayla Sahl Dudin said that Ayla is proud of the role it plays in supporting national efforts to position Aqaba as a preferred tourism destination for travellers from around the globe.
