Egypt’s tourism sector is showing strong momentum, with the number of international arrivals expected to reach 15.3 million by the end of 2024.

According to Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Sherif Fathy, this represents a growth rate of around five percent compared to 2023. The minister added that similar growth is anticipated for 2025 as the country continues to build on its recovery and development efforts in the sector.

The government has outlined a national tourism strategy to attract 30 million tourists annually by 2028. The plan focuses on increasing capacity, enhancing infrastructure, and developing sustainable tourism practices to ensure long-term growth.
