The number of tourists visiting Egypt fell for the fifth consecutive month by 47.2% y-o-y in March, according to CAPMAS data (paywall). Egypt saw 440.7k tourists visit in March compared to 834.6k tourists last year, the state statistics body said on Monday. West Europeans top the visitor’s list, making up 37.2% of total tourists in March. They’re followed by Middle Easterners at 28.2% and East Europeans at 12.8%. “The countries sending the most tourists in each region are Germany, Saudi Arabia, and Ukraine,” Ahram Online quotes CAPMAS as saying. The figures seem to confirm sentiments from head of the Red Sea Tourism Investment Association Kamel Abu Al, who said the government’s aim of attracting 10 mn tourists over a period of six months is unrealistic, we reported yesterday.
