""A Star Trek-themed attraction is set to boldly go ahead 
in Jordan, as US$1.5 billion of funding has been secured for a major tourism and 
theme park development....."They have a group of investors. The main Jordanian 
investor is the King Abdullah Fund," Ms Ayoubi said, in reference to the King 
Abdullah II Fund for Development (KAFD). "   As if if not too sound too oblivious to the events in the 
region, we're reassured with this precious nugget:  "Jordan's tourism industry, along with other markets such 
as Egypt and Syria, was hit by protests in the Middle East this year. Ms Ayoubi 
said work needed to be done in promoting Jordan as a tourism 
destination."" (thanks anonymous)
