Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouli has issued directives to review a draft of Egyptian tourism promotion strategy during the upcoming meeting of the ministerial tourism committee.

This came during a meeting held by Madbouli Monday evening to review the draft of Egyptian tourism promotion strategy, which was prepared by one of the international entities.

The study aims to draw up a strategy for Egyptian tourism backed by governmental efforts in order to promote the tourism sector, said Tourism and Antiquities Minister Khaled El Anani, who attended the meeting along with representatives of the consultancy office, who prepared the strategy.

The consultancy office, which prepared the study, groups a host of experts from the various nationalities, added the minister.

The consultancy office started updating the strategy 18 months ago through a direct partnership between the Egyptian Tourism Federation (ETF) and the Tourism and Antiquities Ministry, he further said.

For their part, the officials of the international consultancy office hailed the infrastructure work carried out in Egypt over the past years as well as the legislations and decisions which were endorsed in the tourism sector.

Such efforts will contribute to achieving a qualitative leap in the tourism sector, they added.

The proposed strategy was prepared with the effective participation of the tourism private sector, they further said.
