Cairo – Mubasher: Egypt’s tourism plan for fiscal year 2020/2021 includes investments worth EGP 5.2 billion, down by 28.8% from an expectation of EGP 7.3 billion in FY19/20.

The drop in tourism investments is due to the coronavirus crisis which affected tourism worldwide, the country’s minister of planning and economic development Hala El-Saeed said in a statement on Tuesday.

This decline signals the projected decrease in private investments seen contributing 84% to total investments, compared to 90% a year earlier.

On a side note, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) agreed to boost the recovery of tourism in a number of countries, including Egypt.
