Introduction:
In fact ,tourism product at Umm Qais include only some handcrafts and some traditional home made food products are the only to support tourism product in the region.
Un fortunately ,except the lecture of (magablih,2004) which includes that the tourism products are mix form life style, handcrafts, soveniers education system, familiar language, local culture, cultural heritage, food, clothes, and the art stone work, but on a wider level tourism product was treated in different approaches like the rural tourism and regional aspects of tourism .(Mahoney,1997).
"It is clear that the form of production for both national and regional nature and culture tourism is small scale. In fact , it is very similar to what is often termed handicraft production , work which concentrates on a specific assignment where so-called silent knowledge plays a major role, especially in the contact with tourism".(Karlsoon ,1994).
We can say that the principal products that recreation and tourism businesses provide are recreational experiences
And hospitality.
"The factors that create a quality recreational experience often differ among people".(Erik Krlsoon,1994).
Like wise, there are two types of cultural tourism product:
-typically cultural products;
-general products part whose consumption is linked to the consumption of cultural products(e.g tourism accommodation , restaurant, transport).
Thus, total cultural activities (products) and the supply of other tourism – related activities (products).when the consumption of the latter is linked to the consumption of cultural products.(holeck,1987).
Based on literatures review, this study hypothesizes that the local tourists are not satisfied with the tourism products.
