Tourism rebounding in Egypt -AFP

Egypt is seeing a promising rebound in tourism ahead of the upcoming presidential elections, AFP reports. “Travel agencies, hotel managers, and diving centres told AFP that reservations are rising, especially in Red Sea destinations such as Hurghada and Marsa Alam.” AFP notes that the rebound is yet to reach Sharm El Sheikh due to the absence of UK and Russian flights, but Tourism Minister Rania El Mashat notes that “all issues around the airports' security have already been resolved” and aviation officials are to meet in the coming weeks.
