Tourism Minister makes speech full of surprises at Egyptian-Canadian Business Council

The Egyptian Minister of Tourism and Antiquities in a meeting on Monday evening at the Egyptian Canadian Business Council surprised the audience with five answers on the future of the Egyptian tourism sector:

1. Eissa said, “We wrong ourselves and the Egyptian tourism sector with alleged mistreatment of tourists in Egypt,” stressing that the experience of countless numbers of tourists says that they enjoyed rich hospitality and good qualities in Egyptian workers, starting from a friendly smile to generosity and good manners, and in a way that exceeds what is offered in many European cities.

“There is no dispute that it is our duty to all improve the treatment of our guests in the streets, shops, outlets and shrines,” he said, and assured that this is being done and previous ministers had made an undeniable effort in this regard.

2- Eissa stressed that it is the duty of all parties, led by tourism investors and the banking system, along with the government, to agree that the top priority is to achieve 18 million tourists next year, and exceed 20 million after that, to reach 30 million tourists, is to provide airline seats and build 200,000 hotel rooms.
