2023 has outperformed Egypt’s tourism performance compared to 2010 and has been called “the year of tourism measurement” by experts, recording 7 million tourists during the first 6 months and another 8 million in the second half.
Notably, Egypt’s tourism sector has seen a strong boom in recent times, with the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities recording the highest numbers since 2010, which is described as the “tourist peak year”, when the number of tourists reached almost 14.5 million. .
Thus, the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism plans to end the current year with 15 million tourists, according to Ahmed Issa, Minister of Tourism and Antiquities.
There are many reasons for such a large influx of tourists, and above all this is the development of infrastructure, especially at the level of roads and airports, which contributed to the creation of new tourist destinations that are attractive to tourists, primarily New Majesti and New Alamein. .
In addition, Minister Eissa confirmed that by 2028, Egypt intends to receive 30 million tourists annually.
And he pointed out that the country focuses on 4 “tourism products” to attract tourists from around the world: beach tourism, family tourism, diving tourism and cultural and historical tourism.
