AMMONNEWS - Jordan hotel owners continue to demand payment of the balance due on the Libyan government for hosting Libyan patients in Jordanian hotels.
The Hotel Owners' Association stressed on Wednesday that it will continue to demand unpaid balances payable by the Libyan government following a massive influx of Libyan nationals to Jordan for medical treatment since last year upon the revolution that ousted and killed former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
Head of the Hotel Owners' Association Hisham Saudi said that the Jordanian government is 'slacking' in helping the owners receive due payment from the Libyan government, which total over JD 200 million.
The hotel owners protested on Wednesday in front of the Libyan Embassy in Shmeisani district in Amman.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Tourism said it continues its efforts to communicate with the Libyan government, which had promised repeatedly to make payments.
Tourism Ministry spokesperson Ziyad Batayneh told Ammon News that the Libyans promised in negotiations last week with their Jordanian counterpart to make payments.
Ammon News attempted repeatedly to contact the Libyan Embassy in Amman and head of the Committee formed to follow up on Libyan patients in Jordan, Ali bin Jalil, but no responses were made from either party.
