EGYPT – THE GIFT OF THE NILE

EGYPT – THE GIFT OF THE NILE

Egypt is a country that is extremely mysterious and an architect’s delight. To this day it draws visitors who come here to see the awe inspiring pyramids which to this day remain a mystery. This country is not like the other “Foreign countries” and hence cannot expect to find the same trappings here.

VISA : The visa is to be obtained prior to arrival in the country.

Egypt Tourism Report Q2 2011

埃及旅游行业2011年第二季度研究报告——Egypt Tourism Report Q2 2011

"Tourism Overview After buoyant recovery in tourism in 2010, the political unrest that rocked Egypt in January/February 2011 has undermined our previous favourable outlook for the sector. BMI’s expectation is now that foreign tourism will suffer a pronounced decline over the next few months at least. Partly as a consequence, we have revised our real GDP growth forecast for FY2010/11 to 3.2% from 5.1% previously (the country’s fiscal year runs from July-June).
Soon after the anti-government protests began on January 25, hotel occupancy rates plummeted in major cities and key holiday destinations in the Red Sea area. Indeed, the government stated that around one million tourists fled Egypt during the course of the protests. It is a promising sign however, that a number of major European travel companies have indicated that package holidays to Egypt may resume in March, after cancellations during the crisis. Industrial action, following the political unrest, has also damaged the tourism sector. Foreign airlines, for example, cancelled flights to Egypt in late February, partly due to strikes by customs officials and maintenance staff at airports.
