Travel and Tourism in Egypt, Key Trends and Opportunities to 2016

2012-03-27
Published : Mar-2012

Egypt’s travel and tourism industry accounts for 7.2% of the country’s GDP and represents 6% of the country’s total employment. Tourism accounts for 15% of the total investments in the service sector. In 2011, the tourist volume, inbound, domestic and outbound, declined over volumes recorded in 2010. Social and political instability, which developed into a revolution during early 2011, had an adverse impact on Egypt’s otherwise positive tourism industry. During the review period, the tourism industry registered strong growth until 2010. The Egyptian government adopted a series of monetary policy adjustments, financial and tax reforms and activated asset management programs to simplify investment procedures to increase private sector contribution in economic activities. As a result, the tourism industry gained momentum and achieved growth in terms of both volume and value. Although both the global financial crisis and the political uprising had negative effects on Egypt’s tourism industry, the effect is expected to be temporary and the industry is anticipated to recover with the restoration of political stability.
