BTC Overview

Corporate Policy

As an affiliate of AIHO, BTC shares AIHO’s corporate policy as a “dynamic player in Jordan’s tourism sector and hospitality industry, contributing vast resources both specifically to this industry and to the country’s overall economy. This contribution comes in many ways, from training and employing youth with the hope of a fruitful career path, to the facilitation of the inflow of foreign exchange, which helps to offset the balance of payments for the country.”

As a company that believes strongly in contributing towards the betterment of our environment, in 2008 BTC was the first hotel in the world to implement an onsite Solar Thermal Energy for water heating needs that saves over 65% of its energy need in this regard.
