AMMAN — The Jordan Tourism Board (JTB) on Thursday expressed hope that the government decision to ease COVID restrictions would help revive the tourism sector.

In a “welcoming letter” addressed to “friends and partners” following the government’s announcement, JTB Managing Director Abed Al Razzaq Arabiyat said the new measures will ease access for travellers planning their trips to Jordan.

According to the government decision, as of March 1, travellers to Jordan will no longer need to conduct a PCR test before departure to Jordan nor will they need to conduct a PCR test upon arrival at the airports, land borders or sea ports.

However, the JTB chief said that travellers will still need to sign up to the (www.gateway2jordan.gov.jo) platform to receive their QR code for border entry and entry to hotels, restaurants and public areas for signing a declaration that states that in case of having any COVID symptoms during their stay they will conduct a rapid test or a PCR test and in case of testing positive to the virus they must self-quarantine for five days.
