Tourism
Jordan has an amazingly rich cultural and archaeological
patrimony, many natural wonders and a particularly welcoming people that should
make of tourism a motor for the economy.
Despite this, the tourism industry shows poor performances and only represents
6% of the national GDP. |
|
This is obviously due to the unstable regional situation that deeply affects this
particularly exposed sector. The recent events on the international scene also
had repercussions, but there are different kinds of tourism Jordan can draw. Business
tourism is one of them. The main Hotels offer comprehensive range of facilities
to organise the most prestigious business meetings, and are experienced in welcoming
international conferences.
Car rental companies with utmost services will welcome visitors with a fleet ranging
from small cars to limousine or four by four. People looking for a deeper immersion
in the Jordanian way of life will find a wide variety of quality hotels in Amman
and many different possibilities to spent the holiday of a lifetime. Camel ride
in Wadi Rom, wonderful nights in Bedouins tents in the desert, birds watching
in natural reserves are only few examples of the diversity one can encounter while
having a trip in Jordan. It is worth contacting professionals such as local travel
agencies to organise a tour and see, if not all, most of the wonders of the country.
Another attraction is the sporting tourism.

Jordan offers a wide choice of climbing, trekking,
cycling and horse riding possibilities. The crystalline Red Sea waters are famous
all over the world for the richness of their submarine fauna and flora, considered
as a paradise for divers. There are thousands of pages to write for the one who
wants to describe Jordan's tourism advantages.
|
But the most important thing for the time being is a testimonial approach; that
is to bring as many foreign visitors and people from the press to show them that
tourism is safe (often more than in European capitals) and business as usual.
The recent investments of international hotel chains are there to proof that we
are not the only one to trust in the future of Jordan as a leading tourist destination.
