Jordan is reaping the benefits of its plan to turn the wheel of tourism back on the back of signs of recovery in the sector, especially with the growth of hotel activity in various regions of the country. Occupancy rates in most hotels and tourist resorts indicate a significant recovery, exceeding forty percent, and are expected to rise with the peak tourist season in the summer.
Statistics from the Jordan Hotel Association showed that hotel occupancy in Aqaba reached 54 percent, while in the capital Amman, it reached 50 percent, in the Dead Sea, it reached 47 percent, and in Petra, it reached 30 percent.
The number of hotels in all governorates of the country except the Aqaba Economic Zone is 540 hotels of all categories, including about 28,000 rooms.
