Sherif Ismail approves establishing High Council for Tourism Promotion

Prime Minister Sherif Ismail approved yesterday establishing the High Council for Tourism Promotion, which will be handling the government’s tourism promotions strategy. The council will be comprised of the ministers of tourism and civil aviation, as well as the governors of the Red Sea, Luxor, and South Sinai, Al Borsa reports. The council’s first order of business: reviewing the repercussions of increasing tourist visa prices — which would have been an excellent idea had it been formed before the decision to nearly double prices of entry visas was made.
