The Tourism Ministry has contracted international consultancy group Preverisk to inspect health and safety conditions in Hurghada hotels and enforce quality standards, according to a Tourism Ministry statement picked up by Al Mal. The Spanish firm will offer a comprehensive strategy based on its evaluation and is also expected to help train hotel employees. The project’s first phase will only cover Hurghada resorts but is expected to expand to other tourist destinations. The decision comes nearly two months after an e-coli infection killed a British couple on holiday in Hurghada. Reuters also has the story.
