Timing of tourist killing in Hurghada could not have been worse –FVW

The stabbing of two German tourists in Hurghada could not have happened at a worse time, as tourism in Egypt is just beginning to recover, German tourism portal FVW says. “The terrorist attack threatens a new blow to the country’s struggling tourism industry and economy.” German tourists are expected to continue flying into the country during winter though thanks to low package prices, the piece says. We had noted that German tour operator FTI said the Hurghada attack will not be affecting its plans to increase flights to Egypt. The company increased weekly connections to Egypt to 142 from 68.
