Preparing tourism programs for the association's members, giving them the opportunity to discover new destinations and tourism experiences in Egypt
Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Sherif Fathy held a meeting with Terry Dale, CEO of the United States Tour Operators Association (USTOA), to discuss strengthening joint cooperation to help increase inbound tourism from the US market to the Egyptian destination in the coming period.
The meeting comes as part of the minister's visit to New York in the United States to review the latest developments in Egypt's tourism situation and discuss mechanisms for boosting inbound tourism, especially in light of current regional circumstances, while stressing the safety and stability the Egyptian destination enjoys.
During the meeting, the bid submitted by Egypt, represented by the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, to host the USTOA annual conference, to be held outside the United States in 2027, was discussed, along with preparing tourism programs for the association's members that give them the opportunity to discover new destinations and tourism experiences in Egypt, especially non-traditional ones that reflect the diversity and richness of the Egyptian destination.
Ways of strengthening cooperation to develop methods of promoting Egypt in the US market were also discussed, along with effective mechanisms for rapid communication with tour operators and the exchange of the information, messages and insights the ministry is targeting, helping to support future cooperation in the many areas related to the tourism sector.
