Flights to Boost Arrivals: Budget airline flights to Jordan will resume from July 1, expected to lift tourist numbers, especially from Europe, alongside stronger presence at border crossings and promotion of the “Ahlan Jordan/Bel-Urdun” platform. Public Health Warning on Tobacco: Jordan’s Higher Population Council marks World No Tobacco Day with data showing over half of Jordanians aged 15+ use tobacco; it highlights a gender gap (men 71%), early smoking starts (83% before 24), and heavy financial strain on low-income families, with average monthly spending reaching 78 dinars per smoker. Green Hydrogen Opportunity: Experts say Jordan can capitalize on green hydrogen thanks to growing solar and wind capacity and Aqaba’s role as an export hub, supported by developing regulations for the sector. Ajloun Agri-Tourism Calls: Local stakeholders in Ajloun are urging new agri-tourism trails linking farms, rural products and natural sites to create jobs and attract investment.
