Flight bookings to Jordan have fallen sharply as the tourism industry in the country struggles due to the Israel-Hamas war. Hotel occupancy rates in Petra have fallen to as low as 10%, and future bookings have evaporated. The tourist industry in the Middle East as a whole is struggling, with flight bookings to the region down 6% since the war erupted. Hotel owners in Jordan fear that the damage will be long-term, with a drop of 90-95% in bookings expected next year. Despite the decline, some Western tourists are still visiting Jordan, but businesses that rely on large crowds are struggling to survive.
