In some great news for a nation’s tourism industry that has suffered through COVID, the Gaza war and the war in Iran, G Adventures has announced it will resume operations in Jordan following the relaxation of Canadian travel advisories.
With departures recommencing from August 1, travellers can once again explore iconic destinations including Petra, Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea, and the ancient city of Jerash.
“We’ve always been quick to return to destinations as soon as it is safe to do so, because we’ve seen time and again the vital role tourism plays in supporting local communities and livelihoods,” said Michelle Hudema, G’s Chief Operating Officer.
In September 2025, G Adventures brought together over 700 agents, suppliers, travellers and media in Jordan to celebrate and learn about the power of community tourism at the company’s annual GX Summit. GX contributed to a 186% increase in travellers in the months after the event.
“Jordan holds a special place for us. Following our GX Summit in September 2025, we welcomed new communities and local partners into our tours and supply chain, and we’re eager to resume operations and continue creating opportunities through the power of sustainable travel,” Hudema added.
“For travellers, there’s never been a better time to experience this extraordinary destination. Late summer and autumn are fantastic seasons to visit, whether you’re looking to hike sections of the ancient Jordan Trail or join one of our adventures designed exclusively for solo travellers. By choosing to travel to Jordan, our travellers can enjoy an unforgettable experience while helping ensure tourism continues to deliver meaningful benefits to the people and communities who depend on it.”
G Adventures’ travellers to Jordan will see firsthand how their tourism dollars can support recovery efforts and deliver immediate economic benefits to the communities most affected by the pause in tourism.
