Aqaba’s Industrial Development and Its Role in Creating Employment in Jordan
- Published: February 16, 2016
"The vision of Aqaba, held by the authorities when we first came here, did not give an important role to industry," explains Sheldon Fink, Chairman & CEO of PBI Aqaba Industrial Estate.
"They said they wanted 50% tourism, 30% port and 20% industry but since the people only have a certain number of hours to work and a certain amount of money the last 20% never got any attention at all. That changed in the past two or three years."
