Egypt's Tourism Minister announces intentions to attract 30 million tourists by 2028
In a significant move to boost Egypt's tourism industry, the Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, Ahmed Issa, recently unveiled ambitious plans to attract 30 million tourists annually by 2028. This announcement underscores the country's commitment to fostering tourism growth and establishing Egypt as a premier destination in global markets.
To achieve this ambitious goal, the government is set to launch comprehensive promotional and marketing campaigns in collaboration with tour organizers and key stakeholders. The objective is to position Egypt as an alluring tourist hotspot across diverse markets. Minister Issa also highlighted the importance of close cooperation with international airline companies, addressing their concerns to enhance accessibility to Egypt through increased airline seats.
Anticipating a surge in tourist arrivals with Egypt tours, Egypt is proactively expanding its hotel infrastructure. By the end of 2024, a substantial increase in the number of hotel rooms is expected to cater to the growing influx of visitors.
Encouragingly, a recent report from the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) signals positive developments in the tourism sector. In the fiscal year 2022/2023, Egypt's tourism revenues experienced an impressive growth of 26.8 percent, reaching $13.6 billion—a substantial increase from the previous fiscal year's $10.7 billion (2021/2022). The report also highlighted a 35.6 percent rise in the number of inbound tourists, totaling approximately 13.9 million visitors.
