Thursday, January 05, 2006
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.
