Despite all this, the adventure tourism in Jordan is not much developed. There are unique locations all around Jordan, which have potential to be adventure tourism spots. There is much development and research is required for Jordan to be an adventure travel destination.
All these unique factors make Jordan a potential market for variety of tours, and many travel agencies are starting to provide tours in Jordan.
Country Insight
United efforts of organisations for development of Adventure tourism in Mediterranean Countries.
“ENI CBC Med and EU are funding project ‘MEDUSA’ to evolve adventure tourism in Mediterranean countries.”
One of the most popular travel locations worldwide is the Mediterranean region. The destination has seen signs of a slowdown due to increasing competition and a deterioration in the political and security environment, making the sector's recovery a top economic priority. To develop the tourism in Mediterranean countries, ENI CBC Med have launched a programme named ‘MEDUSA’, including Spain, Jordan, Lebanon, Italy and Tunisia. This programme will focus on development and promotion of sustainable adventure tourism and development of related businesses in participant countries. This project is funded by European Union, and the project duration is till mid-2023.
Local tourism enterprises are giving efforts for adventure tourism development in Jordan.
“Edom Adventures get awarded for actively promoting adventure tours.”
The MEDUSA Sub-Grant was given to ‘Edom Adventures’ by the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature, the project's partner in Jordan. Edom Adventures, a tour company with offices in Jordan, organises eco tours as well as adventure expeditions and activities including canyoning, mountaineering, hiking, and climbing to promote adventure tourism in Jordan. Edom Adventures was founded by Islam Al-Ma'ani, a guide with expertise in adventure tourism, who also discussed the company's future objectives of expanding adventure tours in Wadi Rum region.
Local tour operators are giving never before, ever after experiences to tourists
“Many local tour operators are offering unique expeditions around the country.”
There are hundreds of Jordanian tour companies that deal with foreign tourists, but the majority are very traditional and offer nearly identical seven-day tours that circle the country's top attractions, from Amman to Petra, Wadi Rum, Jerash, Madaba, Karak, Aqaba, and the Dead Sea. Few tour operators will take tourists to places never discovered before, and even fewer can take you away from the tourist crowds for one-on-one interactions with locals. There are some operators with ‘Voluntourism’ and ‘Responsible tourism’ offers for visitors for unique experiences.
These tour operators take tourists for trekking, camping, safaris and bird watching activities in nature conserved areas. These operators also work with local businesses, helping communities around the tourist’s spots.
