Tourism has always been a key sector to achieving the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Vison. Aqaba’s tourism attributes allow it to be a year-round resort that has something to offer for everyone and is a popular destination amongst all age groups. This seaside city is blessed with great weather throughout the year; rich culture and heritage, proximity to Petra and Wadi Rum, and most importantly, amazing underwater life featuring some of the world's most breathtaking scenery.

ADC, mandated by ASEZA and the Government of Jordan to achieve the ASEZ master plan, is keen on enhancing Aqaba’s competitiveness as a tourism destination. ADC is, therefore, committed to attracting new investments, enhancing infrastructure, improving connectivity by air and sea, diversifying the tourism product, and instilling business as well as touristic enablers into the Zone.

Key to our role, in this regard, is availing of investment opportunities. ADC is a government-owned corporation entrusted with ownership and development rights of the vast area of land within Aqaba that is allocated for tourism, real estate, and commercial use. ADC is also an entity that is capable and willing to form public-private partnerships. This is in addition to ADC’s ability to engage in a multitude of investment contractual frameworks, e.g. sale, lease, BOT.
