Challenges to the recovery of tourism in Egypt in 2011
July 29, 2011
Tourism to the Middle East, or should we more accurately describe it as the Muddle East, has been under serious siege during 2011.
Tourism to the Middle East, or should we more accurately describe it as the Muddle East, has been under serious siege during 2011. With half of 2011 behind us, inbound tourism to Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan and Syria are well down over the record 2011 levels. Israel has experienced a slight downturn. Political instability in Egypt, Tunisia and Syria has had a ripple effect on tourism in neighboring countries, including Jordan, and Israel is expected to continue for some time. The usually popular multi-destination combination tours, which include combinations involving one or more of Egypt, Jordan, Israel and Syria, have suffered a major downturn in 2011 especially as Egypt is usually the core destination for these tours.
