    Egyptian tourism sector booms

    (MENAFN) Egypt is enjoying a rebound in its tourism sector as it witnessed a boost in the number of arrivals from Western, Asian and Arab countries.

    Egyptian Tourism Minister Rania al-Mashat confirmed that the country is likely to welcome a much higher number of guests from China over the next seasons.

    Speaking to Xinhua, the Egyptian minister affirmed that "we had a leap in tourism in 2017 and a large boom in 2018, when Egypt was visited by renowned foreign figures."

    The minister noted that Egypt's tourism revenues stood at USD13 billion in 2010, when it received around 14.7 million visitors.

    Al-Mashat added: "tourism in Egypt started to recover and overcome the consequences of the Russian plane crash, and many countries started to resume its suspended flights to Egyptian airports."
