Administrative Policies of the Ministry of Tourism and their Impact on the Development of Tourism Awareness in Jordanian Society.

Abstract

The research aimed to show the availability of administrative policies of the Ministry of Tourism, tourism awareness in Jordanian society and the extent of the development taking place. The descriptive-analytical approach was adopted through a questionnaire to collect information from a random sample of Ministry of Tourism employees and citizens. The research came in an introduction, followed by three sections; the first: Theoretical Framework, the second: Field Study, the third: Results and Recommendations.

The most important results are: The lack of clear policies and declared written goals by the Ministry, that could constitute a guide for the work of tourist facilities located in Jordan, and weak interaction between society and state institutions, including the Ministry of Tourism.
