Jordan ranked 64th in the Travel and Tourism Sector
Competitiveness Index (TTDI) among 117 countries until May 2022.
The Tourism and Travel Development Index showed that
Japan came in the first place, followed by the US, Spain, France, and Germany.
It indicated that the global tourism sector is
showing signs of recovery in many parts of the world after having been severely
affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The report showed that total international tourism
and business travel is still below pre-pandemic levels, and that the sector’s
recovery has been boosted by high vaccination rates, a return to a more open
travel market, and increased demand for domestic and nature-based tourism.
The report also showed that the 117 countries
accounted for about 96 percent of the global GDP for travel and tourism in
2020.
In the context of tourism among the countries of the
Middle East and North Africa, the UAE ranked first regionally and 25 globally
with a score of 4.5 points.
The index is based on
many indicators, factors, and policies that lead to the development,
sustainability and resilience of the travel and tourism sector, which
contributes to economic and social development, including business standards,
safety and health conditions, infrastructure, natural resources, and
environmental, social, and economic pressures.
