Khaberni - In a step that reflects national responsibility and continuous support for the tourism sector, the Jordan Hotel Association announced a package of measures aimed at alleviating the burdens on hotel and tourism establishments under the current circumstances, in line with the challenges the sector faces and its focus on sustainability and enhancing operational capabilities.
The decisions included exempting hotel establishments from annual subscription fees, which contributes to reducing direct operational costs and supports the ability of these establishments to continue and provide their services efficiently, especially in light of economic changes and pressures that have affected tourism movements.

In the same context, the Association clarified that it has raised and followed up a number of vital demands for the sector with the relevant bodies. Many of these demands have been accomplished in the past period, while work is still ongoing to complete the rest, especially those files related to taxes, banking facilities, dealing with financial distresses, and other issues that are a priority for hotel and tourism establishments.
The Association also emphasized the importance of concerted efforts among all relevant parties to support the tourism sector, noting its continuation in studying more initiatives that could support hotel establishments and achieve a balance between financial sustainability and service quality.
The Association invited all establishments to benefit from these facilities, affirming its full commitment to stand by the sector during this phase, and to work on overcoming challenges that serve the national economy.
