History


Tourism is one of the most important sectors in Egypt's economy. More than 12.8 million tourists visited Egypt in 2008, providing revenues of nearly $11 billion. In 2009, the sector employed about 12 percent of Egypt's workforce.
In 2016, the minister of tourism expressed his concern and optimism about tourists returning to Egypt, despite the downing of a Russian flight in 2015. The minister has said "we are all in this together," referring to terrorism that hurts a country's tourism industry.
In 2018, the UAE Minister of Happiness met with the Egyptian Minister of Tourism to discuss the philosophy of making tourists happy.
In May 2018, the last chariot belonging to King Tut was escorted with a parade to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). It is hoped that the investment in this new museum will stimulate more tourism to Egypt.




Tourism promotion


Before 2018, the promotion campaign was called This is Egypt.
In September 2018, Egypt went with a local advertising company called Synergy Advertising for their tourism promotion.
