Olive tourism is a popular form of tourism in Jordan associated with olive groves and olive oil production. It offers a deeper understanding of the culture surrounding the world of olive groves and allows participation in multiple olive oil-centered activities ranging from gastronomy to accommodation and health treatments.

The Jordanian government plays a crucial role in promoting olive oil tourism and gastronomy through its policies and support. The Ministry of Environment has taken firm steps to support Jordan’s green growth transformation, which includes initiatives to promote sustainable gastronomic tourism and attract more conscientious visitors with a focus on culture. The government’s focus on green growth and sustainability is aligned with the objectives of olive oil tourism and gastronomy, as these sectors contribute to the conservation of natural resources and the promotion of local culture.
In addition, the government has outlined green development frameworks and actions through the Green Growth National Action Plan 2021-2025 (GG-NAP) to support various sectors, such as agriculture, energy, tourism, transport, waste and water, which indirectly promote olive oil tourism and gastronomy in the country. These strategies aim to ensure sustainable development and environmental protection in these sectors.
