The year 2023 looks set to be very promising for tourism in Egypt, with a record number of 14.9 million tourists visiting the country, surpassing the record set in 2010 when Egypt welcomed 14.3 million visitors. This success was announced by the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, highlighting a growth of 6 to 7% during the first 40 days of the year.
The Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, Ahmed Issa, highlighted the ministry’s work plans and policies for the coming period. He also discussed major developments in Egypt’s tourism and antiquities sector and presented the national tourism development strategy for the past year.
This success is largely due to the department’s 28,000 employees and the exceptional leadership they demonstrate. These encouraging figures demonstrate Egypt’s growing importance as a leading tourist destination.
This great news for Egypt’s tourism industry is undoubtedly the result of continuous efforts and sound policies put in place by the government to promote the country as an attractive and safe destination for travelers from around the world. Hopefully this positive trend will continue and Egypt will continue to welcome an increasing number of visitors passionate about its rich historical heritage and cultural wonders.
