Egypt realises major role played by tourism in economic diversification, growth, and job generation: EJB

Published 21 Dec,2020 via Daily News Egypt - “Egypt realises the major role played by the tourism sector in economic diversification, growth, and job generation. The government should define its national tourism visions and plans, and successful governance plans,” according to Mohamed Kaoud, President of the Tourism and Aviation Committee in the Egyptian Junior Business Association, and CEO of Egyliere Travel.

He mentioned that the government should determine which categories of tourists they want to attract, preparing the destination itself, which means improving the appeal of tourism products and experiences, and ascertaining that the destination is ready to welcome tourists, as well as connecting the tourists to the country and the vision should be translated into bookings and repeat visitors.

The president of EJB’s tourism committee stated that the hospitality industry has recently obliged the government to start issuing tourist visas as this move is expected to boost up the sector that was struggling massively by the COVID-19 pandemic.
