Advertising agencies in Dubai In its latest bid to bring back tourism to Egypt, the Ministry of Tourism launched a campaign under the name of “Wahashtoona” (We Miss You) that will target Arabic countries. The scheme is one part of a number of programs aimed at rejuvenating the dwindling numbers of tourists visiting Egypt since the 2011 revolution. Being a main foreign currency-generating sector, tourism has received a serious blow over the past three years due to a lack of security, increased violence, and social upheaval. In 2010, tourism represented more than 10 percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and trickled financially into a multitude of sectors. Now the sector faced a 28.3 percent drop year on year in Q1 2014, garnering $931 million, the lowest quarterly figure in over 10 years.
Minister of Tourism Hisham Zazou said on Saturday that four mega projects are underway in Ain Sokhna, Ras Sudr, Safaga, and Marsa Alam, as the ministry plans to bring back the peak number of tourists that the country witnessed in 2001: 15 million tourists a year generating $12.5 billion.
Tourist numbers have been falling steadily since July 2013, after the army-backed ouster of former President Mohamed Morsi, to a low of 300,000 in September, with average nights spent at 3.8 (compared to an average of 12 nights in 2012). The numbers have picked up since with the latest number on record at 670,000 in November and average nights spent at 8.1.
The minister’s counselor, Ibrahim Ashmawy, told Al-Mal papers on Monday that the Tourism Ministry completed a three-year plan that aims to attract 17.8 million tourists by 2017 with an expected income of $14.4 billion by the end of that period. This includes spurring investments worth $10 billion through various rental, usufruct, and partnership developmental schemes.
Last week, Zazou flew to Germany to appease travel bans to the Sinai Peninsula after the bombing of a tourist bus that resulted in four deaths.
He told Reuters at the ITB travel fair in Berlin last Wednesday that the German travel ban is the latest crisis affecting Egypt’s tourism.
