AMMAN — Tourism revenue in May reached $630 million, marking a 17.5 per cent increase compared with the same month last year, according to data released by the Central Bank of Jordan (CBJ) on Thursday.

CBJ figures also showed that the first five months of 2025 saw a 15.7 per cent surge to $3.057 billion, attributing that to a 20 per cent increase in the number of tourists, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

The data shows an increase in tourism revenue from all nationalities, including a 3.8 per cent rise from expatriate Jordanians, 29.5 per cent from European nationals, 20.7 per cent from Americans, 16.9 per cent from non-Jordanian Arab nationals, and 42.1 per cent from other nationalities.

The data shows an 11.1 per cent rise in spending on outbound tourism during May, reaching $158.3 million. It also recorded a 12.5 per cent hike during the first five months of this year, bringing the total to $804.2 million.
