The CBJ attributed
this increase to a 2.4 million growth in tourist arrivals, which brought the
total of visitors to the Kingdom to 4.6 million in the 11-month period.
In the month of
November, Jordan’s tourism income rose by JD121.9 million over the same month
in 2021 — a 50.3 percent increase — to reach JD364.5 million.
The increase is
similarly attributed to a rise in inbound tourist numbers in November, when
148,000 more people arrived than in the same month of the previous year,
bringing the total to 450,700, the highest number of tourists recorded for any
November since 2013.
