Egypt's Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Sherif Fathy, during his current visit to Paris, met Valérie Boned, President of the French association of travel and tourism companies (EDV), on the sidelines of IFTM Top Resa 2026.
The meeting discussed ways to strengthen cooperation between the two sides to drive more tourist traffic from the French market to Egypt. It was agreed that Egypt will host the association's annual congress, scheduled for 2028, to be held in the North Coast region.
Tourism programs will also be organized for congress participants to visit a number of tourist and archaeological sites in Cairo and Alexandria, giving them the opportunity to see first-hand the diverse tourism and archaeological assets Egypt has to offer, particularly in these two cities.
