The Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife has taken an important step to boost international cooperation by formalizing a tourism partnership with the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Miano signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) alongside H.E. Ambassador Firas Khouri of Jordan, reinforcing decades of goodwill and cooperation between the two nations.
This development marks a forward-looking approach by both countries to grow tourism in a way that benefits communities, strengthens cultural appreciation, and supports local economies.
The agreement outlines shared intentions to promote mutual visits, develop tourism products collaboratively, and facilitate knowledge-sharing between sector professionals.
The ministry’s role in this initiative reflects a growing commitment to shaping tourism as a diplomatic and economic tool.
Through this agreement, Kenya opens the door to more structured interactions with Jordan, from training and research to joint marketing campaigns and exchange programs.
Relations between Kenya and Jordan date back to 1964, and this agreement deepens those ties by turning shared values into concrete projects.
With both countries home to ancient heritage sites, natural wonders, and diverse traditions, this partnership offers rich ground for collaboration that benefits citizens and enriches global tourism experiences.
As the Ministry of Tourism continues to expand Kenya’s presence in international tourism partnerships, agreements like this one show the country’s focus on long-term growth through diplomacy, people-to-people bonds, and sustainable sector strategies.
