Concern over European warnings against travel to Egypt

Tourism investors expressed concern over the impact of the latest terrorist attacks in Egypt on tourism bookings for the coming winter season.

According to workers in the hotels sector, the latest two explosions in Cairo will result in a step up in warnings by several European countries against travel to Egypt.

On Saturday, the Italian consulate was defaced by an explosion which killed one person and injured 10. The incident took place a little over a week after the assassination of Prosecutor General Hisham Barakat.
