Historical and Religious Archeological Sites and Their Role in the Process of Touristic Attraction in Jordan ( Madaba as a Case Study )

This study seeks to identify the current situation of historical and religious archeological tourism and their role in the process of touristic attraction (Madaba case study), and investigate the different kinds of hindrances and difficulties that face this form of tourism, and how their consequences affect the development this form of tourism. The objective of this study is capturing results that help in identifying and understanding the historical and religious archeological tourism and their role in the process of touristic attraction (Madaba case study) in Jordan, moreover how to develop and to expand historical and religious archeological tourism in addition to and publish more touristic information about Jordan. This study belongs to exploratory analytical studies and it approaches the method of data collection and analysis to reach results. It applies a carefully designed survey form to collect data and information to see the trends and views of the study sample, which respond to the questions, posed by the study, and reflect its objectives. A questionnaire of 120 copies was distributed to a number of tourists in Madaba governorate, 110 copies returned and 10 copies were excluded, so the study relied on the 100 copies from returned from the tourists whose data were collected through the questionnaire and represent the population and the sample of the study. The results of the study showed that there is a positive relationship between the existence of historical and religious archeological sites in Madaba and its role in the process of touristic attraction, and there is a negative relationship between the existence of touristic companies specialized in performing programs of historical and religious archeological tourism and their role in the process of touristic attraction in Jordan, which means that there is no touristic companies specialized in performing programs of historical and religious archeological tourism in Jordan. On the other hand there is a negative relationship between the governmental future planning procedures for historical and religious archeological tourism in Jordan and their role in the process of touristic attraction, which means that the government has no future planning procedures for historical and religious archeological tourism in Jordan.


Introduction
Madaba is located almost 30 km south the capital city Amman and it is the capital of Madaba governorate of Jordan.It rises approximately 774 meters above sea level, the population of the governorate of Madaba is 140711 inhabitants, 50.5% of the total population of the governorate is male and 49.5 % are female.And the city of Madaba is characterized by fertile soil and in spite of the antiquities that have been discovered, but many still buried in below.This city dates back to the Iron Age (1200-1160) BC and the prove that the city's history dates back to the Iron Age is the discovered tomb near the Hill which is reliably dated to that era.The most prominent landmarks of the city: Alsiaghh, monastery, Mount Nebo, Mukawir, Umm al-Rasas, Ma'in Hot Springs, Baptism site.
Madaba is Best known for its spectacular Byzantine and Umayyad mosaics, Madaba is home to the famous 6 th century Mosaic Map which represents Jerusalem and the Holy Land.The map is rich of enormous local stones with vivid colors, and it shows pictures for the hills, valleys, villages, and cities up to the Nile Delta.Other pieces of art found in the Church of the Virgin and the Church of Apostles and in Madaba Archaeological Park depict a rampant profusion of flowers and plants, birds and fish, animals and exotic beasts, as well as scenes from mythology and the everyday pursuits of hunting, fishing and farming.Literally, hundreds of other mosaics from the 5 th through the 7 th centuries are scattered throughout Madaba's churches and homes.In line with Jordan's commitment to restoring and preserving its mosaic masterpieces, Madaba's extensive Archaeological Park and Museum complex encompasses the remains of several Byzantine churches, including the outstanding mosaics of the Church of the Virgin and the Hyppolytus Hall, part of a 6 th century mansion.Mary Lee Nolan., & Sidney Nolan(1992).Religious sites as tourism attractions in Europe.Europe's religious tourism system is described with emphasis on the fulfillment of the expectations of visitors ranging from devout pilgrims to secular tourists at three types of attractions.These are pilgrimage shrines with strong emphasis on religious devotions, but with few characteristics to attract secular tourists; shrines that function as devotional centers and religious tourism attractions because of various combinations of historical, artistic, and scenic site characteristics; and places where religious festivals are the principal attractions.Problems related to conflicting interests of pilgrims and tourists are discussed along with some examples of management strategies designed to minimize these conflicts.Gisbert, Rinschede.(1992).Forms of religious tourism, Religious tourism is that form that is exclusively or strongly motivated for religious reasons.One of the oldest types of tourism and a worldwide phenomenon of religious history, it can be differentiated into various forms.The short-term religious tourism is distinguished by excursions to nearby pilgrimage centers or religious conferences.The long-term describes visits of several days or weeks to national and international pilgrimage sites or conferences.Organizational forms of religious tourism can be distinguished by definitive characteristics such as number of participants, choice of transport, seasonal travel, and social structure.

Literature review
Yeh (Sam) Shih Shuo & Chris Ryan & Ge (Maggie) Liu.(2009).Taoism, temples and tourists: The case of Mazu pilgrimage tourism, This paper examines the proposal that pilgrimage sites are like other tourism destinations because they are multi-faceted products meeting the needs of both religious believers and more general holiday makers.The data are derived from a sample of 427 pilgrims to the temple of Da-Lin, a site of worship of the goddess, Mazu.Cluster analysis accords closely with self-professed levels of devotion to the goddess.One-quarter of the sample indicated profound levels of belief, and 40 percent expressed low self-assessed levels of devotion.Factor analysis showed that 'having a holiday' accounted for most of the discrimination on a scale related to motivation and satisfaction gained.
Anne Louise Zahra (2010) A historical analysis of tourism policy implementation by local government, Local government is critical to tourism policy delivery.This paper examines the failure of the public and private tourism sectors to educate local government policy-makers in understanding tourism and related policy issues, leading to poor tourism policy implementation at the local level.The paper presents a historical and descriptive analysis of policy development and documents how local government tourism policy and its associated processes came into being in New Zealand.There is little academic historical research examining institutional and political frameworks of local government and how they impact on tourism policy implementation.Both primary and secondary data sources such as interviews and administrative and archived documents have been used.This finding illustrates a lack of understanding of tourism by central and local government bureaucrats and local government.Due to the lack of historical policy knowledge there is an inability to measure whether progress Dianne Dredge. (2001).Local Government Tourism Planning and Policy-making in New South Wales: Institutional Development and Historical Legacies, Local government has an important role in tourism planning and development but has been criticised for not being more proactive.Impediments to local government involvement in tourism planning and policy-making include lack of community interest; lack of resources; lack of appropriate research and information; lack of commitment to implementation; lack of co-ordination and communication; and lack of technical expertise.This paper argues that these impediments can be more accurately viewed as consequences of deeply embedded values, beliefs, ideas and perceptions about local government roles and responsibilities.The paper reviews the historical development of local government in New South Wales, Australia, with respect to tourism, and discusses the influence of institutional history on how tourism is dealt with in that state.
Author :Kobi Cohen-Hattab (2004) Historical Research and Tourism Analysis: The Case of the Tourist-Historic City of Jerusalem, Studies of tourist-historic cities often rely upon evolutionary models, which chart the development of tourism in historical towns.Prominent among these models are: Ashworth and Tunbridge's model of the tourist-historic city; models outlining the development of the Central Tourist District; The Tourist Town's Functional Spaces Model; and the Accommodation Service Model.The article seeks to prove that using such models without, at the same time, examining the roots and evolution of tourism in these towns from an historical perspective, will provide only a partial and, occasionally, inaccurate picture of the birth, development and unique character the tourist-historic city.Moreover, given the fact that tourism is a widespread and dynamic phenomenon that touches upon many aspects of the human urban experience-social and political, environmental, economic and so on-probing into the roots and rise of tourism in historical towns may also shed light on various features which, idiosyncratic to historical towns, encouraged their eventual transformation into tourist-historic cities.The article will do all this by tracing the origins and flowering of tourism in Jerusalem-one of the world's most famous tourist-historic cities-during the time of the British mandate .
