Sherif Fathy, Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, revealed that the number of tourists arriving in Egypt last June rose by 22% compared with June 2024, despite the regional conditions the region went through, reflecting the sector's resilience and tourists' confidence in the Egyptian destination, which gives cause for optimism about a better future.
This came in his speech after attending the signing by the Chamber of Hotel Establishments of two partnership agreements to train and qualify workers in Egypt's hotel sector, the first with Les Roches and Glion, and the second with Sommet Education, in the presence of Mohamed Ayoub, Chairman of the Chamber's Board of Directors; Wael Abu El-Saud, Board Member and Treasurer of the Chamber; and Adham Garana, Board Member of the Chamber in charge of training.
It is worth noting that the Minister of Tourism had announced in mid-June that inbound tourism to Egypt during the period from January to May 2025 saw 26% growth in tourist numbers compared with the same period in 2024, in which growth rates ranged between 4% and 6%. The same period also saw a notable increase in tourist spending rates.
