Jordan's tourism industry is suffering due to the Israel-Hamas war, with Western holidaymakers avoiding the Middle East. The crisis is particularly acute in Jordan, where popular tourist sites like Petra have seen businesses boarded up and hotel occupancy rates have dropped to as low as 10 percent. Flight bookings to Jordan have decreased by 35 percent year-on-year, and the situation has worsened since Iran's drone strike attack on Israel. The conflict has also affected other countries in the region, with flight bookings to the Middle East down six percent since the war began. Business owners fear that the damage to the tourism industry will be long-term.
