Under the patronage of the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities (MOTA), Orange Jordan celebrated World Tourism Day, observed annually on September 27, by announcing the launch of the 'Digital Solutions Hackathon for the Tourism Sector.” Targeted at university students across the Kingdom, the initiative aims to develop innovative solutions that promote inclusive tourism and address the challenges faced by persons with disabilities in accessing tourism services.

The hackathon will run from October to December 2025, with the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities (MOTA) contributing through the appointment of a dedicated mentor and a jury member to support students and evaluate their ideas. This initiative serves as a platform for student creativity, combining technology and innovation to advance the tourism sector and enhance its inclusivity for all. It also reflects Orange Jordan’s commitment to digital empowerment and its support for all segments of society, driving a positive impact on the community.

In this context, Orange Jordan highlighted its strong belief in the role of digital solutions in creating a positive impact on society, particularly in vital sectors such as tourism, which is a cornerstone of the national economy. The company stressed that the hackathon represents a valuable opportunity for university students to harness their creativity in empowering persons with disabilities and addressing barriers to accessing tourism services. Encouraging students to take part in shaping this change, Orange Jordan positioned the initiative under the umbrella of 'Differently Abled, Definitely Enabled,” dedicated to advancing inclusion. This reflects the company’s commitment to deliver on promises as a true responsible digital leader, while remaining responsible and ethical in all its initiatives.
