Germany’s outbound tourism to Egypt rises 69.1% y-o-y in 2017

The number of passengers traveling to Egypt from German airports rose 69.1% y-o-y in 2017 to 1.39 mn passengers, according to the German Federal Statistics Office. The increase comes as Germany’s outbound tourism reached a new all-time high in 2017, driven in part by a 35.2% boom in air traffic to African countries, including Morocco.
