Tourism Ministry Welcomes UK Travel Advice Update For Jordan

(MENAFN- Jordan Times) AMMAN - The Ministry of Tourism on Saturday hailed the United Kingdom's decision to ease its travel advisory for Jordan, describing the move as a significant step towards strengthening confidence in Jordan as a tourist destination.

The ministry said in a statement that the UK's decision to reclassify most parts of Jordan as safe for travel reflects Jordan's high level of security and stability and further strengthens its reputation as a safe and attractive destination for international visitors.

The ministry also said that the updated guidance is expected to boost confidence among European travelers and support the recovery and growth of the tourism sector.

The British Embassy in Amman also welcomed the return of UK citizens to Jordan for tourism and investment purposes. The embassy encouraged prospective visitors to follow updates published on the official UK government website and make use of available consular services and support.

According to the ministry, the decision serves as a positive indicator for key tourism markets, highlighting Jordan's readiness to receive visitors through its well-prepared tourist sites, hospitality facilities and tourism services.

With the outbreak of the Middle East war on February 28, the UK's Foreign Office (FCDO) advised against non-essential travel to the majority of Jordan, but on June 3 the advice was lifted, no longer advising visitors against all but essential travel.
