The Chamber of Travel and Tourism Companies and Agencies announced the completion of the efforts of the General Department of Tourist Transport at the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities to automate and modernize all procedures and services provided to companies in this field.
Osama Emara, Executive Director of the Chamber of Tourism Companies, confirmed that it has been decided to receive applications for a number of procedures related to tourist transport fully electronically, through the website of the Central Department of Tourism Companies at the link: https://trans.hajj.gov.eg, via the "Tourist Transport – Electronic Requests" tab.
He explained that the services to be provided electronically include the following:
Issuing establishment or expansion decisions.
Obtaining approvals for purchasing tourist vehicles (local or imported).
Requesting the inclusion of imported tourist vehicles in the database.
Issuing tourist vehicle ownership decisions.
Modifying tourist vehicle engines.
Scrapping tourist vehicles.
Releasing a driver or linking a driver to a new tourism company.
The Executive Director of the Chamber of Tourism Companies added that all services provided through the General Department of Tourist Transport are now carried out fully electronically, except for requests to transfer the ownership of tourist vehicles, which will continue to be submitted according to the procedures currently in place, noting that this step represents a qualitative leap in developing the services provided to tourism companies and helps facilitate procedures, save time and effort, and strengthen digital transformation within the tourism sector.
