Egypt want to target Chinese rich travellers
Egypt’s tourism industry has many goals, including launching new routes and learning Mandarin. It is not content to sit by as post-revolution issues keep American and European tourists away.
Minister said that she was invited to the forum by the minister “to share the success stories of Egypt’s tourist sector.”
She was proud to note that her ministry received the World Travel Markets Global Leaders Award, the first award for its contributions to the industry.
2023 will be a great year for Chinese Egypt Tourism
Egypt’s tourism sector achieved a record-breaking revenue in fiscal 2018, which reached 12.6 billion U.S. Dollars. This is 28 percent more than the previous fiscal year.
Many Egyptians see Chinese tourists as Long, their answer to all of their prayers. The revolution caused tourism to plummet. However, sun and sea tourism along the Red Sea have shown some signs of improvement, while cultural tourism remains in decline. Last year, it was reported that revenue from cultural sites has fallen by 95% after the revolution.
China is the only market that has not shrunk in terms of cultural tourism. The number of Chinese tourists is not expected to decrease, but it is expected that they will double their numbers from the pre-revolution level.
China has been attracting more Chinese tourists to Africa due to its increased Sino-African trade, investment and aid relations. China’s Cultural Diplomacy in Africa is outlined in the Beijing Action Plan of Forum on China-Africa Cooperation. It outlines a range of areas for cultural cooperation including education, press, publishing, media, tourism, and people-to people exchange programmes in academia, think tanks, and among young women, athletes, and women.
