Amman, July 14 (Petra) -Jordan Tour Guides Association (JTGA) said
“Urdun Jannah” (Our Jordan is paradise) program has become one of the
country’s key national initiatives to support domestic tourism, help
boost local travel and introduce thousands of Jordanians to tourist
and archaeological sites across the Kingdom.

JTGA said the program has also supported local communities, tourism
establishments and workers in the sector.

In remarks to “petra,” JTGA Chairman Ayman Omar the program
strengthened the role of tourist guides in delivering educational and
cultural experiences that reflect Jordan’s identity, history and
civilizational heritage.

To date, he said the initiative has provided job opportunities for
hundreds of tourist guides and helped sustain their work amid
challenges facing the tourism sector, adding that it has become the
“main” employer for guides.

and its mission of promoting Jordan’s cultural and historical
heritage.
