Gulf investments have ‘immense’ impact on Jordan — official

AMMAN — The Jordan-Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) joint tourism team began on Tuesday its second meeting, which aims at pushing bilateral cooperation to a higher level.

During the meeting, Tourism Ministry Secretary General Issa Gamoh said the similar positions on various issues between the Kingdom and Gulf states have a huge impact on improving the level of Jordanian-GCC, especially in tourism and investments.

He added that the number of tourists coming from GCC countries to Jordan has increased during the last few years, securing foreign currency flow to the Treasury.

He also said that 20 per cent of Jordan’s exports go to the GCC market, adding that Gulf investments in Jordan have made immense contributions to the Kingdom’s development process.
