Jordan is one of the top ten largest contributors to UN Peacekeeping troops. In the midst of civil wars happening in other countries surrounding them, they have been greatly positive and hospitable offering refuge to thousands of refugees fleeing the Islamic State. Despite of being considered to be the safest country in Middle East, Jordan's tourism has reduced to almost 90% since the turmoil started in its neighbor countries. When news about the Lebanon and Paris attacks emerged just this November 2015, a lot of foreigners, tourists and travelers mainly Europeans have cancelled their trips which caused the country's tourism to fall down even more. How does the local people handled this crisis? After our 5 days visit to Jordan, I can confidently say that this country is indeed strong especially the local people. It isn’t fair for them, but they still continue to strive and work hard to gain tourists’ trust regardless of the negative impressions from around the world. I really admire how Jordanians show love for their country and manage to live their humble lives in peace. After I met Jordan. I indeed feel blessed having the opportunity to experience Jordan. It is far more than just a country, it has lots to offer, and when I say lots, I mean anything you can ever imagine! No words can express how I admire everything in it most especially those people I've met. This wonderful country doesn't deserve to be forgotten and taken for granted, it doesn't deserve to be pulled down by the exaggeration of media. Hence, I recommend and urge everyone to visit Jordan whenever you get a chance, never hesitate to give it a try, it will be beyond worthy. Trust me!

So sad how a country or city can be destroyed by terrorists. It's very sad to see your own country going down, for the people living there. It's always good to still see the beauty that remains in the small things. And yes, visiting a country like that will surely be a better experience than just learning about it.

It so happened that Jordan is near the HOT SPOTS... were they farther away, wouldn't you say that they would have better economy and there would be more tourists?

Jordan is such a dear place and hearing about its wonderful history, I'm sure the country would be more progressive. They were the center of civilization in the Middle East during the early histories. If Jordan was only in the safer side of the globe, I would be visiting it often and I'm sure other foreign people would do the same as well.

Sad to know that they were affected by the war on their neighboring countries. I wonder how the locals cope up especially those getting their income from it. This blog can help promote these affected countries. Kudos!

Locals of Jordan are positive people, they make sure that every tourist who visits their country will have an amazing experience and security, this way, people can tell their positive views about Jordan as well that will eventually bring the tourists back.

The President of Jordan is one of my favourite presidents. He does not give a damn. All he wants is to make his people safe and feel safe. I am glad you had the chance to see this beautiful country. I would love to visit it one day.

He is the King actually, and you are right that he is one of the best leaders, reason why the local people love and respect him.

Wooow. Part of my bucketlist is to go to Jordan. I hope though that in the future, people will heal and that the tourism in their country will be on full swing again. It's so sad that a beautiful country such as this is suffering from other country's attacks.

Too bad for Jordan to feel the effects of waging wars among countries near it. But its admirable for its people to feel and stay positive despite all the destruction and such effects. If only everything would just be peaceful and everyone respect each other, we may have a beautiful world to live and leave for our children to see.

Wow. I always admire people who have a strong attitude and positive views in life despite the problems that are thrown at them. Glad that Jordan people were able to face day to day trials amidst problems neighboring countries have. If ever I'd be given a chance to visit abroad, I'll surely include Jordan in my top list!

It's really sad if tourism is greatly affected. They really must make an effort to help the few tourists enjoy their stay. Tourists promoting their good experience at the place will do a lot of good too. Good job! :)
