In an effort to revive Egypt’s struggling tourism industry, Egypt’s Aviation and Tourism ministers have launched the “Enjoy your Winter in Egypt” initiative, which includes flight and hotel discounts for local and foreign travelers. The initiative came in accordance with recommendations of the Ministerial Committee for Tourism and Antiquities during a number of meetings in December 2020. Furthermore, the Egyptian Hotel Association will soon announce the names and prices of hotels participating in the initiative, in categories of three, four and five stars. The hotels will give discounted rates for rooms while continuing to operate at 50 percent of their capacity. Since reopening in July, the country has reported an uptick in tourism, but levels remain nowhere near Egypt’s average.
