Italian tourist bookings to Egypt this summer have seen a 100% y-o-y surge, compared to the same period last year, a Tourism Ministry source tells Youm7. January and February also saw a 75% y-o-y increase in Italian holidaymakers visiting Egypt, he adds. The country’s ailing tourism sector has been recovering slowly in the past few years, with a 66.5% y-o-y rise in group travel to Egypt in 2017.
