Egypt will introduce a number of incentives to encourage inbound tourism upon the resumption of international flights, the date of which is yet to be determined by the cabinet.
This was part of decisions taken during a meeting between Egypt’s Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, Khaled El-Enany and Civil Aviation Minister Mohamed Manar, in Cairo.
The aviation ministry is offering a 50 per cent discount on landing and parking fees and a 20 per cent discount on ground services in South Sinai, Hurghada and Matrouh airports.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Petroleum is offering airplane fuel at 10 cents per gallon.
The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities is also offering passengers on Egypt Air international flights a 20 per cent discount on entrance tickets to museums and archeological sites all over Egypt.
Before the coronavirus crisis, the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities adopted a new policy to connect cultural tourism along the Nile Valley with coastal tourism on the Red Sea.
This was through providing, for the first time, a flight from Sharm El-Sheikh to Luxor, which started in February.
