Royal Jordanian (RJ) and Jordan Hotel Association (JHA) have reached a partnership agreement whereby RJ will provide discounted tickets to association members travelling on its Business and Economy classes.

RJ president and CEO Stefan Pichler and JHA chairman Abdul Hakeem Al-Hindi signed the agreement at the airline’s headquarters.

Beneficiaries of the one-year, renewable, agreement include employees of the hotels that are members in JHA and the association staff, whether they travel for duty or personal trips, and their guests attending corporate official events.

Pichler said: “RJ and JHA are long-standing business partners. We both work in the hospitality industry and our guests are theirs, so we both wish to offer top-notch services.

“We are glad to offer the association management, hotel employees and guests discounts on tickets all year round, to facilitate their transportation globally,” he added.

Al-Hindi said that JHA is proud of the services offered by the national carrier and "that is why our association is keen on choosing RJ for our travels”.

“Thousands of hoteliers and employees are working at the hotel members in the JHA, and we hope that they can make use of the RJ offer to reach their desired destinations,” he commented.

Found in 1969, JHA is a non-profit association representing more than 500 hotels throughout Jordan. The association seeks to promote cooperation among proprietors in the hospitality industry and plays a key role in coordinating with tourism authorities to develop the tourism business in Jordan. - TradeArabia News Service
