Egypt's Tourism and Antiquities Minister Ahmed Issa says they are seeking to double the number of tourists in the next five years, to reach 30 million visitors by 2028
“We’re seeing unparalleled demand, unprecedented demand for travel into Egypt,” Issa said in an interview.
The government’s plan focuses on what he calls the “supply side,” which includes increasing the number of hotel rooms in the country and seats on flights to Egypt by more than 30% annually, as well as encouraging more private investment in the tourism sector. In recent years, the government has touted its ancient history as a major selling point. It has publicized pharaonic discoveries, building and renovating museums and tourist sites across the country.
In recent years, the government has embarked on renovating the museum, in cooperation with five major institutions in Europe, including the British Museum and the Louvre in Paris, Abdel-Halim said.
