Jordan Travel Mart

We know 2009 seems like a long time from now, but it’s not too early to be looking ahead to Jordan Travel Mart (JTM) 2009 – February 22-24 – at the Dead Sea.

Buyer and Supplier response to this year’s inaugural JTM has been very positive; please look at the news stories and survey results now available on available links (to the left). We believe Supplier requests to participate at next year’s event will be so strong that we will have to start a “wait list.”

The JTB/JTBNA organizes this event to provide Jordan Hotels, Receptive Operators, Tourism Promotion Organizations, and other Suppliers of Jordan Tourism Services the opportunity to personally meet carefully qualified “Tourism Buyers” from the USA, Canada, Mexico, and South and Central America.

The “Select-Match” Pre-Scheduled Appointments System used at the Jordan Travel Mart is one of the most important reasons why this Event is different from a “typical” trade show. Jordan Travel Mart Suppliers have two (2) days of pre-scheduled 20 minute business appointments with Buyers who have been carefully qualified, and who have paid a registration fee and their own air fare to attend. This “strictly business” format was very successful during this year’s JTM!

Special seminars and workshops for Buyers and Suppliers will continue to be an important part of JTM ’09, as well as site-inspections, local sight-seeing, and official Pre and Post Tours so that Buyers can personally experience Jordan diversity and hospitality.

We continue to working with the Jordan Tourism Board North America (JTBNA) to research, identify, qualify, and invite Buyers from North America and Latin America markets who are either selling Jordan now, and/or who want to create their own itineraries and products. Jordan Travel Mart ’09 VIP Buyers are once again being hosted by The Marriott Dead Sea Resort & Spa, The Moevenpick Dead Sea Resort, and the Kempinski Hotel Ishtar.

Supplier Registration Fees are US$1,195 including one (1) delegate; a 2m x 3m (8’ x 10’) booth/stand with table, four chairs, and sign; pre-scheduled appointments with Buyers; a CD Directory containing complete marketing profiles; and participation at all official business and social functions. Registration Fees increase to $1,295 after October 15. Additional Delegate Registration fee is $225, increasing to $275 after October 15. A Double Booth/Stand including two (2) Delegates is available at $2,145 for Suppliers requiring larger space.
