The Ministry of Tourism reassures its international tourism partners as well as its guests that the political developments in Egypt do not affect services rendered to tourists.
The Ministry of Tourism has been closely following the latest developments in Egypt’s domestic political scene, taking consideration that such political developments are of temporary nature and are quite expected during this transition of the Egyptian Revolution.
The Ministry of Tourism takes this opportunity to reassure its international tourism partners as well as its guests that these political developments do not affect services rendered to tourists and that business is as usual where Egyptians are keen to welcome their guests throughout the country.
The tourists arrivals to Egypt during the period Jan-Sep 2012 show an increase of 20.2% over the same period in 2011.
The tourism industry in Egypt – resilient as ever – continues to develop, plan and move ahead with a number of calculated new products such as the reoperation of the Nile Cruises after a halt period of more than 15 years.
The Kebbash Road connecting Luxor Temple with Karnak Temple will be reopened – after a full over healing process – to visitors in March 2013, as well as new measures to renovate the Pyramids area. All touristic sites in Egypt are fully open to visitors as usual.
All those actions reflect the vast interest and support the current Government of Egypt attaches to the Tourism Industry as one of the main pillars of the Egyptian National economy.
The Ministry of Tourism – once again – expresses its commitment to all measures to further develop and sustain this important industry; welcoming tourists at all times.
