Heritage Village Project
As part of its plans to create a new investment tourism product by conducting studies and designs for the Heritage Village project taking into account the diversification and development of the tourism product in order to prolong the visitor's stay in Petra in implementation of the total strategic planning of Petra region (2011-2030).
This project encourages the revitalization of the cultural heritage system of the region by opening the way to finding traditional handicraft industries and practice them interactively with the visitor.
The project takes into account the visitor's movement inside the region and finding a site that attracts him after visiting the archaeological site, which will add value to the visit of the archaeological site and fill his spare time especially in the evening by watching the components and details of the heritage village which
reflects the heritage of the city of Petra. This project will be linked with the transport project (the back road). The design of this project is consistent with the topography of the area, land use and its particularities. PDTRA took into account mixing the natural rock formations located in the project land with the Project components and its interior designs.
Project goals:
- Creating a new tourist investment product through which PDTRA will provide the product and investment to benefit the local communities in the region, and constitutes a good return to PDTRA through investment.
- This project is an opportunity to improve and organize the commercial and traditional industries shops and their diversity of all trades.
- By selecting the location of the project in Al- Beidha area, this will benefit the local community through the distribution of development gains on new sites and will be an initiative to open investments for cluster projects that will be established around this project.
