Tourism in Egypt
The number of foreign tourists visiting Egypt
rose to 1.1 million in April, according to official statistics, an increase of
5.2 percent compared to the same period last year.
Egyptian Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS) said that the latest figures represent an improvement over the one million tourists recorded in April 2012.
However, the figure is still well below the levels before the revolution.
Approximately 1.2 million tourists arrived in the country in April 2010.
According to CAPMAS, the largest proportion of tourists from Western Europe, followed by Eastern Europeans and tourists from other countries in the Middle East.
While visitors from the Middle East have spent a total of 11.1 million nights in Egypt, 8.4 percent less than last year, Arab tourists accounted for an increase of 3.6 percent from 2012 figures for April.
In May, the Cabinet said that the number of tourists visiting Egypt in the first four months of 2013 increased 11.8 percent from a year earlier.
Tourism, which accounted for over 10 percent of the gross domestic product of Egypt before the 2011 revolution that overthrew former President Hosni Mubarak, was badly damaged by political instability and kidnapping of tourists in the peninsula Sinai.
