Jordan received 3,292,000 international visitors in the first half of 2025, an increase of 18% compared with the same period of 2024, when the number of visitors reached 2,786,000.
The number of overnight tourists in the first six months rose to 2,717,000 visitors, compared with 2,375,000 during the same period of 2024, an increase of 14%, according to a post on the Facebook page of Jordan's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.
Meanwhile, the number of same-day visitors reached about 575,000, compared with 411,000 in the same period of 2024, a remarkable growth rate of 40%.
The report showed that the highest growth rate in the number of overnight tourists in the first half of 2025 came from European countries, up 82%, followed by the Asia and Pacific group at 44%, then the Americas group at 43%, and finally the Arab countries group at 5%.
In June 2025, Jordan received about 595,000 international visitors, an increase of 8% compared with the same month of 2024, when visitors numbered about 551,000, despite the regional circumstances the region witnessed during June.
The total number of international visitors during the second quarter, from April to June 2025, also rose to 1,784,000, a growth rate of 23% compared with the same period of 2024, when the number of visitors reached 1,452,000.
Tourism income during the first five months of 2025 reached about JOD 2.167 billion, an increase of 16% compared with the same period of 2024, when tourism income was about JOD 1.873 billion.
Tourism income in May alone also rose by 18% to JOD 447 million, compared with JOD 380 million in May 2024.
This positive performance is attributed to the concerted efforts of the various bodies working in the tourism sector, including the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, promotion bodies, the private sector, airlines and investors in infrastructure and services, as well as all workers in the sector.
These efforts included developing the tourism product, improving the visitor experience and expanding promotional campaigns in new markets, which helped strengthen Jordan's position as a distinctive tourist destination.
With the support and coordination of all parties, the tourism sector continues to implement a comprehensive strategy aimed at achieving sustainable growth, increasing its contribution to GDP and creating new jobs, strengthening the national economy and consolidating Jordan's position as a global tourist destination rich in historical, religious and natural sites.
The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and the Jordan Tourism Board continue to work on containing the repercussions of the regional situation, which led to a decline in the number of visitors from markets affected by the temporary suspension of some low-cost airline routes to Jordan, as well as working to restore these routes as soon as possible.
