Tourism revenues in Egypt plummeted by more than 69 % during the last yr due largely to the coronavirus disease pandemic, dropping to about $4 billion in comparison with more than $13 billion in 2019 because of the suspension of air traffic and abroad travel, and the closure of borders between nations for a number of months.
Egypt introduced an initiative to stimulate domestic tourism under the title “Winter in Egypt,” which relies on reducing the costs of domestic flight tickets.
