Al-Amri pointed out that the relevant authorities in the Municipality are currently following up on the transactions of four other resthouses that have applied for requests to correct their conditions and obtain legal licenses, affirming that work is underway to complete the official approvals and safety requirements to facilitate the licensing procedures in accordance with the legal frameworks followed.
In a related context, Al-Amri revealed that the Municipality has obtained a verbal approval to prepare for the launch of an investment tender for the 'Tourist Village' project to businessmen and investors interested in the tourism sector, explaining that the area has unique tourist and therapeutic assets due to the availability of mineral and therapeutic water in it, which is expected to contribute new financial revenues to the Municipality's revenues that contribute to improving the services provided to citizens.
The Chairman of the Municipal Committee stressed that the revival of these resthouses and tourist projects will have a tangible positive impact on the economic and developmental reality in the Northern Aghwar District, by stimulating domestic tourism, boosting the commercial wheel, and providing direct and indirect job opportunities that reflect positively on the livelihood of families in the region.
For his part, Kamal Al-Akawi, one of the owners of water resthouses in the area, appreciated the government's decision to reopen the resthouses and reinject water into them, expressing his appreciation for the efforts of the Municipality of Mu'adh bin Jabal, the District Governor, and the Wadi Al-Ard Authority in responding to their demands and removing obstacles to this vital sector.
Al-Akawi confirmed that these resthouses are major sources of livelihood and economic windows for the locals that support dozens of families, in addition to their investment therapeutic value, and added that the provision of these safe water facilities represents a real and ideal alternative for the locals and children of the region for swimming and picnicking, which directly contributes to reducing the dangerous phenomenon of random swimming in the King Abdullah Canal, which has claimed the lives of young people and children during the summer.
