The Faculty of Tourism and Hotel Management organized the E-Tourism Competition as part of its ongoing efforts to enhance students’ practical skills and keep pace with digital advancements in the tourism and travel sector.

The competition was held under the preparation and supervision of the Dean of the Faculty, Prof. Dr. Saad Al-Saad and the Assistant Dean for Quality and Training, Mr. Zahir Khasawneh. The event reflected the faculty’s commitment to linking theoretical knowledge with practical application and developing students’ capabilities in electronic tourism and electronic booking by using Global Distribution Systems, which contribute to preparing qualified graduates who are able to compete in the local and regional tourism labor market.

The competition included several interactive segments, beginning with a Question-and-Answer (Q&A) session to assess students’ theoretical knowledge in e-tourism, followed by a practical application contest. In this segment, students competed to complete electronic bookings, with the top three participants from the Q&A session advancing. The first place was awarded to student Majd Malabeh, second place to Sondos Al-Azzam, and third place to Bahr Al-Zoubi.
