Ahmed Hamdy: The authority will bear 30% of the total cost of the trip
Major General Ahmed Hamdy, deputy head of the Egyptian Tourism Promotion Authority, told Travel Yalla that the authority has prepared a campaign to implement geographic tourism programs, which will be launched in each governorate and target local residents through domestic trips to the landmarks of the city they live in. The programs have been divided into tiers to be supported according to the cost of each program, with the authority bearing no less than 30% as a contribution to the total cost of the trip.
Hamdy explained that these trips will, for example, take residents of Alexandria to visit the city's archaeological and tourist landmarks, most notably the Citadel of Qaitbay and the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, among others. Likewise, for residents of the Canal cities, trips will be organized to visit the New Suez Canal and the archaeological and tourist landmarks in Suez.
