AMMAN — Head of the wedding-venue owners union,
Mamoun Al-Manaseer, said that the upcoming days will pose a total setback to the weddings
and functions sector after private farms have become a more favored venue to
hold parties and weddings, according to Khaberni news.

Manaseer said that private farms have been
competing with other wedding venues, noting that these farms are not licensed and
operate without any kind of monitoring.
Manaseer said that the union has recommended to
the
Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and to the Ministry of Interior to
stipulate the licensing of these farms under the category “Hospitality House”, to
impose taxes and request licensing fees from owners.
Manaseer also complained that demand on wedding
venues has dropped to 15 percent; hardly sufficient to cover salaries and
electricity bills, calling for government intervention to salvage the sector.
