The Guinness World Record for the largest human floating image has been awarded to staff of high end hotel and spa facilities on the coast of the Dead Sea in Jordan, Middle East.

The 261 hotel chain employees joined hands to create a floating peace symbol in a bid to promote national tourism globally.

A mix of Jordanians and expats wore matching-coloured shirts and locked hands for a total of ten minutes in the Dead Sea, which is 412 metres (1,352ft) below sea level.



The event was organised by Monaco Business Development, a marketing company based in Jordan that promotes products, services and concepts to local and international markets.

“We are very proud to achieve this world record, which will definitely support our national tourism mission in promoting Jordan to the rest of the world,” said general manager of Monaco Business Development, Mona Nazzal.

The staff involved in the event came from the Crowne Plaza Jordan Dead Sea Resort and Spa, Holiday Inn Resort Dead Sea, Jordan Valley Marriott Dead Sea and Spa, Mövenpick Resort and Spa Dead Sea Hotel, Kempinski Hotel Ishtar, Winter Valley Warwick Resort and Spa, the upcoming Hilton Dead Sea Spa Hotel, Dead Sea Resort and Spa and the Hilton-operated King Hussein Bin Talal Convention Centre.
