RIYADH: Jordan’s tourism revenue jumped 7 percent year on year over the first 11 months of 2025, reaching $7.2 billion, new figures showed.
Preliminary data from the Central Bank of Jordan indicated that the Middle Eastern country’s tourism revenue rose by 12.6 percent year on year in November, reaching $606.6 million, the Jordan News Agency, or Petra, reported.
This comes despite a modest decline from the record highs of 2023 caused by regional tensions, as Jordan’s tourism sector still exceeded its 2024 targets for visitor numbers and revenue under the Economic Modernization Vision.
It also reflects the sector’s long-term strategy, which prioritizes steady expansion, with EMV targets calling for annual growth of around 10 percent in tourism receipts alongside sustained increases in visitor numbers.
The newly released Petra statement said: “The Central Bank attributed the growth to a 14.7 percent rise in tourist arrivals.”
