Jordan Tourism new campaign showcases historical getaways
The Jordan Tourism Board is launching a new campaign that offers short, getaways in the historic kingdom of Jordan.
This first journey in the series showcases how to capture the essence of Jordan's compelling attractions, from ancient civilisational sites to its green pastures. The key to Jordan's captivated visitors is knowing where to go and when to explore.
Day one of the campaign demonstrates how to capture the essence of Jordan's compelling attractions in just three days. Visitors can explore Amman's hidden departments, such as the Citadel, which offers sweeping views and takes visitors through the heart of the great empires that shaped the world order. In the afternoon, the historic downtown offers surprises around every corner, including artisan coffee roasters, street vendors preparing falafel, galleries showcasing contemporary Arab art, and restaurants serving Levantine cuisine in century-old villas.
Day two is Petra's quiet moments, where visitors can enjoy sublime, surreal, and spiritual experiences. The journey begins with the famous Treasury, which offers a vast archaeological site with hidden tombs and viewpoints. The village of Umm Sayhoun offers an authentic lunch where families serve traditional mansaf in humble surroundings, while the Monastery, Petra's largest monument, offers mesmerising views and the satisfaction of discovering what lies beyond the words in your guidebook.
Day three brings a delightful shift in scenery as you explore Jordan's verdant north, starting from Jerash, rich in ancient Greco-Roman and Oriental influences and lush greenery. Experience magic walking down the Colonnaded Street, which has guided travelers for two millennia, and attend the Jerash Festival during summer. By midday, head to Ajloun, where the landscape transforms into olive groves and woodland, offering panoramic views and the surrounding forest reserve. Hiking along the Soap House Trail and watching women craft olive soap using centuries-old methods at the Orjan village are also opportunities to enjoy nature in its pristine setting. -TradeArabia News Service

Mideast emerges as global business events powerhouse: report
Investment, ambition and diversification are at the heart of the Middle East's flourishing business events market, reveals the latest Regional Trends Report from IBTM World. Projecting the region as 'one to watch', the much-anticipated report, unveiled at day three of Arabian Travel Market, takes a deep dive into the growing power of this fast-emerging business events destination in the global MICE industry. From renewables to fintech and telecoms to space travel, growth is being nurtured in both new and existing industries, with businesses and brands in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar at the forefront of this. As business grows, infrastructure is being built at breakneck speed to house the many meetings and events needed to support it. Talent from around the world is also following suit, with a new business or venue, as well as new infrastructure, opening every day in the Middle East. Alongside geo-adapted supply chains and a culturally creative offering, this is why some of the most impressive event brands in the world are making the thriving region their home. Written by Managing Director of Eight PR & Marketing, Alistair Turner, the inaugural report also sheds light on the return of face-to-face events in the Middle East. In a business culture where in-person interactions are highly valued, around 70 per cent of meetings in the region now take place face-to-face, with just 30 per cent happening virtually or in a hybrid format.
