visiting Egypt jumped 120% y-o-y in 1H2017, Tourism Promotion Authority head Hisham El Demery said, citing data from the Ukrainian and Polish governments. Although Ukrainian tourism to Egypt saw a significant jump in comparison to last year, arrivals from the country are currently less than half of 2010-15 levels, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shorouknews.com\/news\/view.aspx?cdate=19082017&id=1a80810b-d4fa-40b1-b0be-df841fffb29d\">Al Shorouk reports<\/a>. El Demery is currently on a trip to Warsaw and Kiev to discuss with tour operators how to further boost Polish and Ukrainian tourism to Egypt for the rest of summer and during the upcoming winter season.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/tourism\/\">tourism<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"642673\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"642673\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">18<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Automotive + Transportation<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/08\/20\/no-consensus-on-the-automotive-directive-risks-delaying-passing-the-act-till-after-november\/\">\r\n                            No consensus on the automotive directive risks delaying passing the act till after November                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/08\/20\/no-consensus-on-the-automotive-directive-risks-delaying-passing-the-act-till-after-november\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();
