Egypt tourist arrival numbers are showing a rebound after the slide that began in 2011, Joseph Hayat reports for TRT World. The rebound, despite being slow, is welcome news for tour operators, but Sharm El Sheikh’s recovery continues to lag behind other destinations. The number of visitors from emerging markets is increasing and traditional markets such a Russia are making a comeback, Hayat says. More than four-fifths of the tickets of Aeroflot’s inaugural flight to Cairo, following its long hiatus, sold out within 48 hours, he notes (watch, runtime 02:31).
