Right after the Egyptian revolution on January 25th and during the (Arab Spring), all travel and tourism practitioners in Egypt were so ambitious and optimistic about the near future of tourism in Egypt. Later on, there was an obvious deterioration in the political situation which affected the travel and tourism sector negatively.
On the other hand, some statistics were being published highlighting slight increase in inbound tourism. We can’t deny these statistics but i assume that these statistics comprehend all the inbound population including refugees and foreign students in Egyptian universities which is not a small number.
To cut it short, the situation wasn’t good and still. But the question is: is it the political situation in Egypt or in the Middle East is the only challenge facing the Egyptian travel and tourism sector? is there a way to develop this sector as it was the second major source of foreign currency?
