  "account": "Jordan's tourism revenue saw a substantial increase of 24.9% in July compared to the same period last year, as reported by the Central Bank of Jordan. The revenue climbed to USD 926.2 million for that month, according to data released on Tuesday, 18th.\n\nLooking at the year-to-date figures, the sector revenue is slightly down by 0.2% from the 2025 level, amounting to USD 4.418 billion.\n\nHowever, the picture is more nuanced when examining spending patterns by different demographics. Spending by Jordanians living abroad dropped by 8.9% in the first seven months of 2026. Europeans and North Americans experienced a steeper decline at 24.7% and 20.6% respectively. On the positive side, spending by non-Jordanian Arabs saw a rise of 12.8%, while Asians increased theirs by 3.9%.\n\nThe July performance was an indication of a recovery trend in tourism revenue, as compared to the figures from previous months. During that time, Jordanians visiting the country spent USD 248.1 million, a marginal increase of 0.3% from July 2025.",
