For the second year in a row, the global organization Eventex has announced the selection of Karim El Minabawy, a board member of the Chamber of Travel and Tourism Companies and Agencies and head of its outbound tourism committee, for its annual list of the 50 most influential figures in the incentives, conferences and events industry worldwide.
Last year, the organization had selected El Minabawy among the 100 most influential figures, but through his performance and excellence he succeeded in making the shortlist of the 50 most influential figures in the incentives industry. This selection is considered an international Egyptian achievement in the tourism industry and reflects Karim El Minabawy's expertise, professional standing and influence in this specialized sector worldwide.
The appearance of El Minabawy's name on this prestigious list reflects international recognition of his prominent role in developing the conferences and exhibitions industry, whether through his active participation in international forums or through the knowledge content, lectures and expertise he has provided, which have passed on best practices to those working in this growing type of tourism. The selection also reflects the scale of his contributions to supporting innovation and sustainability within the incentives and conferences sector, a key focus of the organization's selection process.
It is worth noting that Karim El Minabawy was previously elected international president of SITE, the organization responsible for this important type of tourism industry and its organization worldwide.
For its part, the board of the Chamber of Travel and Tourism Companies and Agencies stressed that Karim El Minabawy's continued appearance on this distinguished global list is international testimony to the extent of the influence he has made through his participation, specialized lectures and knowledge contributions, and the practical insights he has offered in supporting the sustainability and development of this fast-growing type of tourism around the world.
Dr. Nader El-Beblawy, Chairman of the Chamber, said this international recognition gives Egyptian tourism a new boost in terms of its professional presence in the conferences and incentives sector, and reflects the ability of Egyptian talent to compete in specialized tourism, which is one of the most important paths of global growth in the coming years.
It is worth noting that Eventex is one of the most prominent international bodies specializing in monitoring and evaluating professional development in the events industry, and its selection relies on an advisory committee of leading international experts who choose among thousands of candidates based on precise criteria including impact, innovation, achievements and the candidate's role in shaping the future of the industry globally.
