Egypt tourism promotional campaign to begin February

CAIRO – 19 January 2018: On the sideline of the Vitor international tourism exhibition that was held in Madrid, Spain, Egypt’s Authority for Tourism Development is organizing a promotional plan for rebuilding a new touristic policy with many countries like Spain and Latin America.

This campaign will be organized by the Egyptian authority from the second half of February 2018 to April 2018, which will play an important role in attracting Spanish tourism to Egypt and maintaining Egyptian tourism in the Spanish market through the following steps.

Egyptian Authority for Tourism Development’s agreement with Egypt’s Orthodox Church:

Hesham El Demiry, head of the Egyptian Authority for Tourism Development, has agreed with representatives of Egypt’s Orthodox Church in the presence of Giza Governor General Khaled Fouda to discuss the best promotional campaign for marketing the Holy Family’s path in Egypt after it had been a part of the Vatican’s pilgrim program.

Meetings with tour organizers:

The upcoming promotional plan includes holding meetings with Spanish travel agents and tour organizers to showcase all the security procedures taken and the well-organized preparations for receiving tourists from all over the world.

Also in this step, the Egyptian Authority for Tourism Development will team up with travel agents in Spain to maintain Egypt’s presence in the Spanish market and attract Spanish tourism to Egypt.

Promoting Egypt’s touristic places:

This step of the upcoming campaign includes promoting the most attractive places and resorts in Egypt, especially New Alamin City, the New Administrative Capital and historical places in Old Cairo.

The head of the Egyptian Authority for Tourism Development confirmed that it is necessary to promote all sides of tourism in Egypt, including religious tourism, therapeutic tourism and cultural tourism, which all attract Spanish tourists to Egypt.

He asked the Spanish authorities to edit and reorganize all travel instructions dedicated to their tourists by including Egypt’s historical and monumental places in the travel and tourism programs, as the instant guideline is considered to be a great problem stalling Egypt’s tourism movement.
