AMMAN — The occupancy rate at many of Aqaba’s hotels reached 90 per cent in the first week of the port city’s 2016 month-long carnival, Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA) Commissioner for Economic Development and Investment Affairs Sharhabeel Madi said Saturday.

The carnival, launched for the second year, seeks to increase the number of visitors by encouraging local tourists to make the southern city their getaway from the cold weather.

Madi said room prices for three to five days at the city’s hotels range between JD65 and JD130 within offers to attract tourists to the warm southern city, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
