  • Destination Jordan So It’S Official
    © Lonely Planet Publications 19 Destination Jordan So it’s official. Petra, jewel in the crown of Jordan’s antiquities, has been declared by popular ballot as one of the ‘new’ Seven Wonders of the World. Jordan’s authorities, together with tour operators, hoteliers and even the Bedouin of Petra themselves, have been quick to understand the commercial value of this marketing coup, and prices have risen accord- ingly. The magnificent rock-hewn city of the Nabataeans hardly needed further billing. Since Johann Ludwig Burckhardt rediscovered it in the 19th century, it has been a favourite destination for Europeans – and at sunset on a winter’s day, when the rose-pink city catches alight, it’s easy to see why it has charmed a new generation of visitors. FAST FACTS Not to be outdone by Petra’s success, Wadi Rum – that epic landscape Population: 6.2 million of TE Lawrence and David Lean’s Lawrence of Arabia – is a contender as Population growth rate: one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Surely two such acco- 2.3% lades would be entirely disproportionate to the minimal size of Jordan. But Jordan, straddling the ancient Holy Land of the world’s three Inflation: 15.5% great monotheistic religions, and once an important trading centre of the GDP: US$31.01 Roman Empire, is no stranger to punching above its weight. Stand on Mt Main exports: clothing, Nebo, newly consecrated by Pope John II, and survey the land promised pharmaceuticals, potash, to Moses; unfurl a veil at Mukawir, where Salome cast a spell over men phosphates, fertilisers, in perpetuity; float in the Dead Sea, beside a pillar of salt, reputed to be vegetables Lot’s disobedient wife.

  • Successful Tourism at Heritage Places
    Successful Tourism at Heritage Places A GUIDE FOR TOURISM OPERATORS HERITAGE MANAGERS AND COMMUNITIES this Foreword The Australian Heritage Commission (AHC) and the Department of Industry, Science and Resources, with the assistance of the Cooperative Research Centre for Sustainable Tourism (CRC) have over several years explored issues of common concern about the responsible use of Australia’s heritage places for tourism. We have aimed to move beyond general notions of the incompatibility of tourism and heritage conservation toward emphasising the potential contributions that tourism can make. Discussions over the last few years have demonstrated that impacts can often be managed effectively. There is much common ground and great potential for benefits all round. In this guide we have provided information to help people more clearly under- stand the issues involved and have developed some practical pointers for those aiming for successful and responsible tourism at heritage places. We hope this guide is a useful springboard for you. Aboriginal Tourism Australia i Developing this guide In 1998, the Australian Heritage Commission and the Department of Industry, Science and Resources identified the need to develop guidelines for tourism where heritage places are involved. This followed recognition that there needed to be a stronger bridge between tourism industry codes of practice and heritage conservation principles. A steering committee was established (see Acknowledgments) and the National Centre for Tourism was employed to produce a draft document in 1999. This final document has resulted from submissions from tourism operators, heritage managers and community groups across Australia. The document incorporates key elements of international and national tourism research, strategies, guidelines and codes of practice (see Section 7).
