Ammon News - Eng. Adnan Al Sawair announced his appointment as Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the Petra Development and Tourism Region Authority PDTRA.

In a Facebook post, Al Sawair stated, "I learned a short while ago that I have been appointed as Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the Petra Development and Tourism Region Authority."

He added that he will begin his new role drawing strength and inspiration from the efforts initiated by His Majesty the King in economic modernization and development across all sectors, and from the dedication and attention that the Petra region deserves to reach the highest level among global tourism and development destinations.

He noted that he is currently in Italy on a working visit with a Jordanian delegation, and coincidentally, the PDTRA participated in this visit.
