Jordan Daily - The Embassy of Malaysia in Amman hosted the Malaysia Tourism Networking Luncheon Thursday at the Embassy, organized in close collaboration with the Jordan Tourism Board (JTB) to deepen bilateral cooperation, enhance destination visibility, and promote the Visit Malaysia 2026–2027 campaign.
Attended by JTB Director General Ramzi Maaytah as Guest of Honour alongside key Jordanian travel trade leaders, tour operators, hospitality representatives, and media, the event served as a collaborative platform to strengthen industry linkages and boost two-way travel between the two nations.
In his address, His Excellency Dato’ Mohamad Nasri Abdul Rahman, Ambassador of Malaysia to Jordan, emphasized the vital role of the Jordanian market for Malaysian tourism. In 2025, Malaysia received 8,957 visitors from Jordan, while 8,033 Malaysians travelled to Jordan, reflecting the existing two-way tourism movement between both countries.
“For Malaysia, Visit Malaysia is more than a tourism campaign. It is an opportunity to share our culture, natural beauty, and the warmth of our people," said Ambassador Dato’ Mohamad Nasri. “We offer a unique combination of safety, value-for-money, world-class shopping, and a naturally Muslim-friendly environment with accessible Halal dining and prayer facilities that resonate strongly with Jordanian families and leisure travellers.”
Active participation from key stakeholders, including the Jordan Inbound Tour Operators Association, the hotel sector, and outbound travel agencies, underscored the event's success. The engagement is viewed as essential to converting interest into actual travel demand through tailored Malaysian travel packages and expanded promotion across the Jordanian market.
