(ANSAmed) - AMMAN, NOVEMBER 20 - Tourism sector in Jordan needs at least 25,000 qualified people to occupy vacancies in this ever growing sector, Minister of Tourism minister Maha Khatib said today. "It is unacceptable that this sector, which is considered one of the main pillars of our economy to need this big number of people at a time when unemployment in the kingdom is high," said the minister during a meeting with tourism officials and representatives of local universities and the civil society. The minister noted that tourism contributes to nearly 14% of the kingdom's income. "There are certain specialities that need a lot of people to work in such as tourism guides and specialists in museums and hotels," said the minister. Jordan has no natural resources to help its anaemic economy cope with mounting pressure, with tourism playing a big role in knowing the budget deficit thanks to the magnate of Petra, back bone of tourism in the desert kingdom.
