The JTB’s first time participation at UITT trade show in Kiev met great success when the JTB walked out with the ‘Best Tourism Board Award’. An unexpected interest from its members required the JTB to enlarge its stand to accommodate the eleven participants that attended.

Jordan’s participation was met with great interest, where the brochures prepared for the entire show nearly ran out on day one, and the stand was the buzz of the show for the number of visitors it received and the events that took place. The organizers of UITT granted JTB an award for the “Best Tourism Board” during an event held for the exhibitors. Miss Elina Tajji / Marketing Coordinator for Russia, Ukraine & Scandinavia received the award on behalf of the JTB.

The JTB started its marketing activities in Ukraine two years ago working out of head office and with no representation in the country. Since instigating its activities the, JTB noted a greater influx of tourists from Ukraine and a greater interest in the market from its local members. This progress was reason for the Royal Jordanian to start servicing a flight from the Ukraine, bringing the access to two airlines.
