ASEZA Environmental Policies: The water policy: the protection and management of groundwater resources & waste-water on Ayla Project can be renewable at a certain rate to waste less water and be environmental friendly. The energy conservation policy: promotes the provision of adequate energy to consumers at the least possible levelThe impact: the project will cost less money to do the daily construction.

Reference (20,21)

Page 35: AYLA OASIS PROJECT CONSTRUCTION

Discriminatory National laws in Jordan: Positive impact: The refugees from other middle-east countries get less salaries. Therefore, for the project, it can employ those refugees by paying less money and get same labour force , rather than paying salaries for locals.Negative impact: The refugees who are employed by the project may have some social problems, such as no accommodation, lack of food, crime and so on. Therefore, if the project employ those refugees, it will take risk.

added 17km of new water frontage to Aqaba. Also it has increased the 52 percent waterline.

• It costs JD60,000 (USD 84,620)per year by using electronic power to irrigate the golf court. So that in order to minimise the cost , the project use solar power.

RISKS RISK MANAGEMENT

what Aqaba offers currently is very limited

creating 17 kilometres of new seafront from a 250-metre strip on the Gulf of Aqaba by creating a new bay

tourists do not stay long enough to spend money that makes a difference to businesses and the local communityArab Spring (revolutionary movements in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yamen), Jordan lost 25% in tourism market in 2011.

Investment at Aqaba is an example not only for the region but also for many cities around the world which would benefit from improved land use planning.

Reference (3,10)

Page 54: AYLA OASIS PROJECT CONSTRUCTION

RISKS RISK MANAGEMENT There is a massive

projects that are currently under construction at Aqaba (competitors) are considered a major challenge and can puts a question on all of these tourism projects and the sudden increase in hotel rooms; It is planned that Ayla will provide Aqaba with a 1,550 room hotels whereas Saraya Al Aqaba (competitors) will also increases the hotel rooms by 1,200.

Good marketing strategies; the key is developing a marketing strategy that forms a solid foundation for promotional efforts. Implementing promotional activities such as advertising, one to one sale and international marketing especially for gulf countries.
