Jordan received about 540,000 international visitors in October, reflecting continued growth in demand for the Jordanian destination and clear progress on the "total number of visitors" indicator included in the targets of the Economic Modernization Vision.
Tourism income also rose 3.4% in October to reach $600.8 million, a development that boosts the indicator for total spending by inbound visitors and supports the expanding economic impact of the sector across various regions, according to a post on the Jordanian Ministry of Tourism's Facebook account.
Air connectivity expanded significantly, with Ryanair announcing an expanded winter schedule to Amman offering 300,000 seats to 18 destinations, and Eurowings starting two weekly flights from Stuttgart to the Jordanian capital, a step that supports the initiative of "connecting Jordan with target countries and markets" under the Economic Modernization Vision.
The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities affirmed the continued implementation of development programs and projects in line with the Economic Modernization Vision, which enhance the Kingdom's competitiveness and the diversity of its tourism product, and enable local communities to benefit more from the returns.
In domestic tourism, the "Urdunna Jannah" (Our Jordan Is Paradise) program saw the participation of nearly 25,000 citizens in October, helping to support the local services sector and broaden the economic benefits in the governorates.
