تقييم لواقع و أبعاد السياحة الداخلية في المثلث السياحي الذهبي من وجهة نظر بعض الزوار الأردنيين

Abstract EN

This study aims at examining the nature and the dimensions of domestic tourism flow in the 'tourism golden triangle' and to suggest specific measures and courses of action to activate and enhance it.

A total of (400) questionnaires were distributed among Jordanian visitors in Aqaba, Petra and Rum, (346) of them were returned back and found representatives of the population under study.

Descriptive statistics, T-test and Chi Square tests were performed to test the validity of the proposed hypotheses of the study.

The results show that domestic tourism rather than excursion is the prevailing pattern among respondents.

It is mainly a family activity of lesser group package tours and travel agents.

Respondents appreciate the attractiveness of tourist sites, but they feel that the prices of tourism services are relatively expensive for local citizens.

This study found that the relationship between evaluation of tourism services and facilities on one hand, and each of marital status and occupation of visitors on the other hand is statistically significant.
