Concerns of poor quality of services in hotels due to weak revenues

The decline in tourism revenues limits the capacity of companies to develop better services, and has eventually led to a bad reputation for Egypt as a tourism destination that competes with other destinations in the region.

According to officials in the Tourism Investors Association and the Chamber of Hotels, efficiency and quality of tourism services in hotels were affected greatly during the past period due to weak revenues.

Adel Al-Sherbiny, Deputy Chairman of the South Sinai Tourism Investors Association, believes that the past four years have negatively affected the hotels’ capacity for replacement and renewal operations carried out by companies annually. He added that more than 60% of hotels are not able to carry out replacement and renewal operations.
