Egypt to receive 13.1M tourists by end of 2023

Egypt's Alamein city recently spotlighted the significant surge in the number of tourists arriving in the country, particularly following the cessation of lockdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The global health crisis gravely impacted the tourism industry worldwide. However, according to several reports from international agencies, including the American Fitch Solutions, Egypt's tourism sector is anticipated to continue its recovery.

The Egyptian Center for Thought and Studies highlighted a notable growth in tourism. There was an astounding 117.5% annual increase in 2021, registering 8 million tourists compared to 3.7 million in 2020. Moreover, as 2023 progresses, the inflow of tourists is expected to surpass the pre-pandemic levels of 2019. This surge can be attributed to the pent-up demand for travel following lockdowns and the resolution of the Russo-Ukrainian crisis.
