Jordan's tourism income for the first five months amounted to USD 2.6 billion, according to the Central Bank.

Data from the Central Bank showed a 6.5 percent decrease in tourism income compared to the same period in 2023, attributed to a 10 percent drop in tourist numbers.

Hussein Hilalat, Vice President and spokesperson for the Jordan Hotel Association, confirmed that hotel booking rates during the Eid al-Adha holiday were "low and below expectations."

Hilalat told "Roya" that hotel booking rates in tourist sites relying on European tourism did not exceed 4 percent, such as in Madaba and Wadi Rum, with bookings in Petra being almost non-existent.

Aqaba recorded the highest occupancy rate at 75 percent, followed by the Dead Sea at 65 percent, and Amman at 47 percent.
