Dear Business Partners,

Welcome to the fourth issue of "Jordan through our eyes" where we will be sharing with you some exciting news regarding new happenings in Jordan as well as activities the Karma House Team participated in!

We had our first guests to experience the new set up of King Aretas IV luxury camp,  the only luxury camp in Jordan which has recently moved from Petra to the enchanting desert of Wadi Rum.  Their feedback was excellent and not only did they have the opportunity to explore and enjoy one of the most amazing places in the world, but  also experienced luxury in the most humble of places nature has created. For more details on the new set up visit the camp's website on www.kingaretascampjordan.com.

We have also hosted a number of Fam Trips whereby overseas tour operators had the opportunity to visit our beautiful country and feel for themselves the level of services we provide.  A more detailed article will follow sharing the views of the various agents.

Thank "yous".....

During the recent volcano disruption with a great number of airlines being in chaos and airports being closed, a great number of passengers were stranded around the world with Jordan as no exception.  Below are a couple of statements of the many we have received of such passengers and the experience they had with Karma House:

 

"I cannot speak highly enough about the excellent service that I received Karma House Travel in Amman Jordan.  The team was extremely helpful, accommodating, efficient and kind to assist with negotiating an extension of our accommodation at the hotel in Amman when it was at capacity with stranded passengers due to volcano closing airspace in Europe. They were also instrumental in securing a flight home for me when the flights were booking up fast due to stranded passengers requiring re-routing. I am very grateful for their assistance. They made a stressful situation far less stressful.  I hope that through either you or your colleagues this positive feedback could be passed on to Karma House Travel Team."


"Karma House made us feel we are "the only ones that were stranded".  Their attention to the smallest detail to make our stay under the circumstance more bearable was extra ordinary thus highlighting the personalized service that Karma House extends to their clients!"

CIS Market.

Between the 05th - 12th of June 2010 we hosted a Fam Trip for high end tour operators from CIS countries, namely Latvia, Ukraine and Russia.  A total of 13 participants visited Jordan and had the opportunity to experience the diversity of our country by visiting some of the top attractions e.g. Petra, Wadi Rum, Jerash, Ajloun, Mount Nebo, Dead Sea, Aqaba & Madaba.Amman Theatre

The feedback we received was excellent both in terms of the services that Karma House provided as well as the quality of the sights they visited.  They said that Jordan was a very interesting country with a lot ot offer and they would definately ensure that their respective markets were fully briefed about the possibilities.


Benelux Market.


On the 22nd of June 2010 Karma House hosted a group of mice organizers from the Benelux countries.  During their stay our team had the opportunity to showcase our services by organizing a full program for the group outlining in detail the various set ups an incentive group can enjoy.  By the end of their trip, the various organizers were totally impressed with the creativity of Karma House and highlighted that without a doubt, should the opportunity arises they will promote Jordan as an incentive destination with Karma House as their partner.
