AMMAN — The government has increased the allocated 2019 budget for the Jordan Tourism Board (JTB) from JD9 million to JD17 million, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
A statement by the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities said the decision to increase support was made with the consideration of the JTB as the marketing branch of tourism in the Kingdom.
He added that governmental support has helped boost tourism indicators in 2018, as the total number of tourists to Jordan amounted to 4.9 million at a 7.8 per cent increase, while the number of overnight tourists reached 4.15 million with an 8 per cent increase. Total tourism revenue for 2018 reached JD3.727 billion.
