AMMAN — On Thursday, the
Central Bank of Jordan’s (CBJ)
preliminary data revealed a remarkable surge in tourist income for Jordan
during the fiscal year 2023, indicating a substantial 27.4 percent increase,
reaching a total of $7.4 billion. This notable growth can be attributed to a
surge in
tourist arrivals, with a recorded 25.8 percent rise, totaling 6.353
million visitors.

Analyzing the specifics, the tourist income in December 2023
amounted to JD359.3 million (equivalent to $506.8 million). Although still
significant, this figure reflects a marginal 3.4 percent decrease compared to
December 2022. The decline is primarily attributed to an 8 percent reduction in
tourist numbers, totaling 416,600 visitors for the month, as opposed to the
corresponding period in 2022, Al-Mamlaka TV reported.
