Polish tourists favour Egypt for holidays: Report

Egypt is a top tourist destination for Polish tourists, according to a report issued by a Polish tour operators association.

The report shows that Polish tourists prefer Egyptian destinations like Hurghada, Sharm El-Sheikh and Marsa Alam over Greece, Spain and Turkey.

A spokesman for Egypt's tourism ministry, Rasha El-Azayzi, said that Poland is a top country for travel to Egypt.

Last week, Poland lifted a travel ban on resorts in Egypt's South Sinai that was issued in February following the bombing of a tour bus that killed three South Koreans and their Egyptian bus driver.

Several European countries including Germany, Italy, France, Ireland, Denmark and Spain have also lifted travel warnings against the Red Sea resorts.
