As a way to help the tourism recovery, the Jordan Tourism Board announced its partnership with Venture X for the launch of a tourism start-up accelerator programme in the country home to Petra, one of the New 7 Wonders of the World.
According to the Jordan Tourism Board Managing Director, Abdul Razzaq Arabiat, “this partnership is a response to the challenges ahead, and my team is going to assist these projects by using our media and marketing tools”.
A statement launched by the Jordan Tourism Board informed that the accelerator programme will “fortify the position of global tourism from Jordan and push the national plan for the revival of tourism”.
The programme will reward companies developing “future-proof” solutions for the travel and tourism sector with access to work with some of the region’s and the world’s most important industry players. The selected startups will experience a three-month programme for identifying a potential pilot project which will be followed by three months of pilot implementation.
