Saudi Arabia ranks among top markets for tourism in Egypt
(MENAFN)Saudi Arabia is amid the top markets for tourism in Egypt, and now that the Kingdom launched its borders for international travel, the Egyptian Tourism Promotion Board (ETPB) is ramping up its marketing drive in the Kingdom.
“Revenues from tourism reached the highest point at $12.6 billion in 2019. Saudi Arabia ranked among the top countries for travel to Egypt before the pandemic. The Saudi market represents the first and most important Arab market, ranking fifth for visitors to Egypt. The trend continued into the first two months of 2020 that recorded 8 percent year-on-year growth in terms of numbers and revenues, with 2.4 million tourists visiting the country during this period,” Arab News quoted Ahmed Youssef, chairman of the ETPB as saying.
The official further declared that Tourism is a considered a big revenue generator for Egypt, standing at USD13 billion in 2019.
