US tourists to Egypt increase by 15% in 2005
Minister of Tourism Zuhir Garana said that the number of American tourists to Egypt increased in 2005 by 15 percent compared to 2004.

The Minister said the percentage indicated a booming tourist sector in Egypt following the sharp decline in the wake of the 9/11 attacks on the United States in 2001.

Meanwhile, a total of 4.3 million tourists visited Egypt from May to October 2005, according to a report by the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics.

The report said that tourists have spent some LE4.5 billion and that tourist nights reached 46 million. Theodore Koumelis - Thursday, January 05, 2006
