The Chamber of Hotel Establishments stressed in a statement, in response to reports on some foreign websites about an English girl contracting E. coli bacteria at a hotel in Hurghada, that this incident took place in February 2017, and that, according to the English newspapers, none of the medical reports on the girl's condition after she was examined, whether in Egypt or England, confirmed that she had been infected with this type of bacteria.
The chamber added that all laboratory tests, whether of food, beverages or water, carried out by an international company specializing in health and safety for the hotel in question proved them to be completely safe.
The Chamber of Hotels denounced the publication of such news at this time, coinciding with the strong return of tourism to Egypt that everyone can see, and urged the Egyptian media to verify the accuracy of what they publish, in consideration of the country's interest and to preserve the reputation of the Egyptian tourism sector.
