On #WorldTourismDay, we stress the importance of rethinking how we do #tourism in favour of one that is greener, smarter, and safer. In #Jordan, we work on developing and promoting tourism experiences that are sustainable and alternative in nature. Through our @nlinjo Curated Experiences project, we introduce new income opportunities for women, youth, and underserved communities while safeguarding the planet.

Last week, we completed a 3-day training on advanced #digitalmarketing for inbound tour operators in #Jordan 🇯🇴. This training will help tour operators integrate new travel experiences into their offers online and target worldwide holidaymakers, adventurers, and solo travellers through paid ads on social media and search engines 📈 The capacity building of tour operators comes as part of our Curated Experiences project, funded by @nlinjo , to promote experiential, #sustainabletourism in Jordan 🧳🥘🧗‍♂️ #tourismvaluchain #travelexperiences #adventuretourism #culturalimmersion #wellnesstourism

Over the past 2 years, the Digital Avenue project has supported hundreds of young Jordanians in tapping into #digiwork opportunities to increase their income streams. With financial assistance, the 10 winning freelance agencies are now progressing by enhancing their profiles on digital freelancing platforms and reaching out to more clients locally and globally with a diverse set of services - all remotely. This project is funded by @usembassyjordan. 🇺🇸 #USAinJO #statedept

In #Jerash, the Salamat family offers an exciting #beekeeping experience, where visitors learn about beekeeping 🐝 and honey production 🍯. The family is now working on developing a trail, starting with a local traditional breakfast, a hike towards the apiary, and a honey harvesting experience in beekeeper costumes. With support from @nlinjo, we support 85 travel experience providers, like the Salamat family, in upgrading their capacities, building their business skills, and marketing their experiences to travellers. In doing so, we promote a more sustainable, inclusive, and diversified #tourism sector in #Jordan. #sustainabletourism #tourismvaluechain #tourismdevelopment #experientialtravel #localcommunity

Mohammad Hamdan, who has participated in our Digital Avenue Project to upgrade his #digiwork skills, now leads his team in writing winning proposals and approaching new clients in the US and international markets.

Following our @gimed_enicbcmed project's technical and financial assistance of #greenSMEs in the Euro Mediterranean region, our RESET project will capitalise on GIMED's results to help facilitate the development of #greenenterprises through research, knowledge sharing, and policy recommendations. #greeneconomy #greenbusiness #GOMED #onemed @enicbcmed

On #WorldHumanitarianDay, we pay tribute to humanitarian actors everywhere for their ongoing collective efforts to support those in need, and bring back hope for a better future. Through our #RDPPME-funded #Skills4Work project in #Jordan, we helped #refugees and #hostcommunities build #sustainablelivelihoods through #privatesectordevelopment. ⬆️ We supported 40 #SMEs 🏭 from 6 different industrial sectors by increasing their production capacity, competitiveness, and ability to create new jobs, new job positions, and new training and apprenticeship opportunities. In parallel, we equipped refugees and host communities 👤 with skills that are highly demanded by Jordanian SMEs, bridging the gap between demand and supply of labour. 🤝 #ItTakesAVillage

In Ajloun, #Jordan, Khadijah runs her own business, where she engages travellers to experience traditional pottery making and local Taboun and Kusmat bread kneading. With support from @nlinjo, we support 85 travel experience providers, like Khadijah, in upgrading their capacities, building their business skills, and marketing their experiences to travellers. In doing so, we promote a more sustainable, inclusive, and diversified #tourism sector in #Jordan. #sustainabletourism #tourismvaluechain #tourismdevelopment #experientialtravel #localcommunity

This #InternationalYouthDay, we'd like to emphasise the importance of engaging and empowering young people, who are not only the leaders of tomorrow but also of today. ⬆️ Our Digital Avenue Project, funded by @usembassyjordan, helps Jordanian youth unleash their full potential to explore online gig opportunities with local and global firms. Last week, thanks to @ujiec.jo, 119 new participants from the University of Jordan joined our digital avenue training academy for #digiwork and freelancing skills. As representatives of Gen Z, university students are digital natives who will soon join the global workforce with a genuine flair for autonomy and flexibility at work. #digitalwork #freelancing #selfemployment #gigeconomy
