AMMAN — The number of British tourists visiting the Kingdom increased by 24 per cent to reach 37,000 tourists by the end of August, Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Majd Shweikeh said on Tuesday.

The UK travel firm Thomas Cook’s bankruptcy had “little effect” on Jordan, she added, noting that UK market indicators are growing with no risks to Jordan, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

Commenting on Thomas Cook's announcement of its insolvency last Monday, Abed Al Razzaq Arabiyat, managing director of the Jordan Tourism Board, said that the board has no agreements with the company, which would not affect arrivals to Jordan.
