Sami Mahmoud: One of the most important specialized professional tourism fairs in Europe
Italy ranks fifth worldwide and fourth in Europe in inbound tourism to Egypt
The Egyptian Tourism Promotion Authority is taking part in the 52nd edition of the international tourism fair "TTG INCONTRI", held in the Italian city of Rimini from October 8 to 10, with an Egyptian pavilion covering 96 square meters.
For his part, Sami Mahmoud, head of the Egyptian Tourism Promotion Authority, stressed the importance of participating in the fair, as it is one of the most important specialized professional international fairs and a main meeting point for everyone working in the tourism sector, with a large number of tour operators, tourism companies, airlines and hotels taking part, alongside specialized tourism journalists from all countries.
It is worth noting that Italy is among the top 10 countries sending tourists to Egypt, ranking fourth in Europe and fifth worldwide in inbound tourism with 255,000 tourists from January to August this year, according to detailed statistics previously published by Travel Yalla.
On the fair's activities, Mahmoud said that several accompanying events will be organized, including a reception at the Egyptian pavilion for representatives of tourism companies and the media, as well as folklore performances.
The head of the Tourism Promotion Authority added that Egypt was chosen as the fair's "partner country" last year, when its activities began with an opening conference attended by the Italian Minister of Tourism and the head of the Italian tour operators' association "ASTOI".
