Giza attack “a setback” for Egyptian tourism: AITO chairman

Sunday’s terrorist attack in Giza is “a setback” for tourism in Egypt, Chairman of the Association of Independent Tour Operators (AITO) Derek Moore said, according to TTG Media. Moore stressed, however, his confidence that Egyptian authorities were doing everything possible to reduce the likelihood of repeat incidents. “The truth is, we think, the public has become more aware of the statistically very low chances of being involved in such an incident,” he added. AITO is a UK-based tourism trade group representing 120 independent tour companies, 12 of which currently organize trips and holidays in Egypt.
