Jannah Jo (which
literally translates to Jordan is a paradise) seeks to partially offset the
losses of the tourism sector due to Corona pandemic through engaging travel
agencies in planning trips, transportation, providing tourist guides and arranging
domestic flights.
Jannah Jo
offers one-day trips to northern areas and parts of the south and overnight
trips to the destinations most affected by the fallout like Aqaba, Petra and
Wadi Rum, which suffered from the lack of foreign tourism.
