The Social Security Corporation (SSC) announced that its board of directors has issued a decision granting establishments operating in the tourism sector and its related industries exceptional financial facilities. These facilities include the option to pay outstanding amounts in installments at a reduced annual interest rate of 1%, with the option to defer the start of installment payments until next April at the latest.اضافة اعلان

In a statement issued by its media center, the SSC explained that this decision is the result of a series of meetings held with the Minister of Tourism and ministry officials to discuss measures to enable the tourism sector—especially tourism establishments operating in the Petra region—to overcome current challenges.

The SSC had also previously met with tourism sector representatives, including the Jordan Inbound Tour Operators Association and the Jordan Hotel Association, to discuss the difficulties and challenges facing the sector.

In this context, the SSC called on tourism establishments wishing to benefit from these facilities to visit its branches starting Monday, July 20, to submit their installment applications.

Meanwhile, establishments operating in activities related to or supporting the tourism sector must visit the Ministry of Tourism, the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority, or the Petra Development and Tourism Region Authority—each according to their jurisdiction—to obtain certification confirming their connection to the tourism sector, before visiting SSC branches to submit their installment applications.
