AMMAN, Jordan (MNTV) — Jordan’s tourism sector recorded a 7.5 percent increase in revenue during the first eight months of 2025, reaching $5.33 billion, according to preliminary figures released by the Central Bank of Jordan (CBJ).
The report noted that revenue in August alone rose by 2.6 percent to $932.2 million, compared with a 0.3 percent decline in the same month last year. Officials attributed the growth to a 14.9 percent rise in tourist arrivals.
Tourism receipts expanded across multiple regions, with notable increases from Asian visitors (38.4 percent), Europeans (30.2 percent), Americans (18.6 percent), Arabs (5.5 percent), and other nationalities (34 percent). However, income from expatriate Jordanians fell by 1.3 percent during the same period.
Outbound tourism expenditure also grew, reaching $1.44 billion in the January–August period, a 4 percent rise compared to last year. In August, spending by Jordanians traveling abroad increased by 4.5 percent to $196.8 million.
