Ammon News - As the Eid Al Fitr holiday is approaching, travel enthusiasts have welcomed the recent government decision to lower tourist entry fees for Arab nationals to be equal to that for Jordanian citizens.

Abdelrahman Al Muhid, the founder of the “Let’s Go to Jordan” campaign, said: “Jordan has a great reputation abroad and many people from Gulf countries are expected to visit Jordan.”

Muhid, a Jordanian residing in Kuwait, said that this decision will contribute to reviving tourism in the summer.

When asked about how he runs his promotional tourism campaign while residing in a foreign country, Muhid said that social media plays a huge role.

“Tourism feeds into the rest of the sectors in the country. It boosts markets and supports local businesses and the economy in general,” he said.

“Social media allowed us to collaborate with travel bloggers who are looking for ways to promote Jordan and access its sites during the pandemic,” said Fadi Abu Jaber, a Jordanian tour guide

“I started documenting my travels when I moved abroad with the aim of capturing the beautiful memories of my life as an expat,” said Natalie Snider, Co-Founder & Director of “Coulture Trips”.
