Tourism in Egypt vs in Spain

CAIRO – 7 November 2017: When tourism changes into a competition, countries all over the world compete to win foreign tourist markets, and Egypt is winning beating Spain in this competition.

Egypt has taken smart steps in its approach to activate tourism, including decreasing the cost of tours to make its destinations more competitive and desirable, which negatively affects the Balearic Islands, the most important tourist attraction in Spain.

Spanish press released that tourism to the Balearic Islands is being negatively affected and decreasing gradually, as the British and German markets are dedicated to Egypt due its low cost in comparison to other destinations.

On the other hand, Egypt possesses a number of adorable islands that are able to attract more and more tourists from all over the world, not only British and German tourists. Pharaoh’s Island, an attractive site located off the cost of Taba, has been used as an outpost since the pharaonic age. Elephantine Island at the border of Nubia is a historical island that was used by ancient Egyptians as a defensive line. And El Nabatat Island in Aswan has a botanical garden on it.
