One area in Jordan facing this challenge is Bani-Kenanah located in the North of Jordan. Bani Kenanah is home to natural reserves, forests, local agricultural practices, and numerous historical and cultural buildings and sites. Despite this diversity, tourism activities in the region is limited and mostly overlooked by local and international tourists.

Mapping tourist locations is one method to support tourism in local communities and promote awareness of important natural and cultural heritage in the region. Promoting tourism activities are also important income generators for local communities.
