JTB promoting religious, adventure tourism

AMMAN — Jordan Tourism Board (JTB) Managing Director Abed Al Razzaq Arabiyat on Sunday stressed the importance of advertising campaigns specialised in promoting religious, adventure and convention tourism sectors for their contributions to the Kingdom’s gross domestic product.

To promote Christian religious tourism, JTB is scheduled in November to host 100 families from across the world to baptise their children at the Baptism Site, Arabiyat told the Jordan News Agency, Petra. In November, the JTB, in cooperation with its representation office in Germany, will support the scuba diving festival in Aqaba, he said.
