Zaman Tours Strengthens North American Trade Connections at TTE 2026
Zaman Tours was pleased to participate in Tour & Travel Exchange (TTE) 2026, held in Phoenix, Arizona, from June 4–7. The event brought together a focused group of tour operators, travel advisors, host agencies, and industry partners from across North America for meaningful conversations, relationship-building, and future partnership development.
Representing Zaman Tours at the event was Janine Jervis, Country Manager – USA & Canada, who met with a wide range of travel professionals across the luxury, experiential, adventure, faith-based, educational, photography, and small-group travel sectors.
Building Relationships in the North American Market
TTE provided a valuable opportunity for Zaman Tours to continue expanding its presence within the North American travel trade and introduce more partners to the depth, diversity, and possibilities of Jordan.
Throughout the event, conversations reinforced continued interest in Jordan as a destination, particularly among operators and advisors seeking authentic, customized, and experience-driven travel programs. Many discussions focused on future collaboration, itinerary development, destination education, and the importance of working with a trusted local partner on the ground.
For Zaman Tours, the event served as both a business development platform and a meaningful opportunity to better understand how North American partners are approaching travel to Jordan and the wider region.
Jordan Through a Fresh Lens
From Petra and Wadi Rum to the Dead Sea, Jerash, Amman, and Bethany Beyond the Jordan, Jordan continues to offer a powerful combination of history, culture, adventure, faith, cuisine, hospitality, and human connection.
At TTE, Zaman Tours highlighted its ability to design tailor-made journeys for a wide range of travel styles, including luxury FIT, small groups, faith-based travel, adventure programs, photography-focused itineraries, educational travel, and multi-country regional experiences.
As travelers increasingly seek deeper, more meaningful experiences, Jordan remains exceptionally well positioned to deliver journeys that are personal, immersive, and memorable.
A Memorable Networking Moment
In addition to the scheduled appointments, TTE also offered several informal networking opportunities that helped strengthen industry relationships in a more relaxed setting.
One unexpected highlight came during the event’s networking activities, when Janine Jervis was crowned the winner of TTE’s annual Flip-Flop Competition. The lighthearted moment brought plenty of smiles, sparked additional conversations, and added a fun touch of visibility for Zaman Tours during the event.
Looking Ahead
Zaman Tours is grateful to the TTE organizers, David Kartagener and the KAI team, and all of the travel professionals who took the time to meet, connect, and explore future opportunities.
The event reinforced the importance of continued engagement, consistent communication, and strong partnerships within the North American market. Zaman Tours looks forward to building on the conversations started in Phoenix and continuing to support tour operators, travel advisors, and travel designers seeking trusted, creative, and responsive local expertise in Jordan.
