2024年5月27日，在 2024 ITB上海国际旅游交易博览会上，埃及旅游局局长阿姆尔·埃尔卡迪（Amr El-Kady）先生亲临现场，他向我们和与会者传递了埃及对中国游客的热烈欢迎与殷切期待。埃尔卡迪局长表示，埃及与中国之间的旅游往来日益密切，中国游客对埃及这个古老而神秘的国度的热情高涨。2023年埃及共接待中国游客达23万人次，同比增长高达250%。进入2024年，仅第一季度，埃及就接待中国游客达9万人次，同比增长178%。五一黄金周期间，埃及更是迎来了大批中国游客的光临，这一盛况让埃及旅游局倍感振奋。

在交易博览会期间，我代表世界酒店联盟和《文旅》杂志社同阿姆尔•埃尔卡迪见面，就有关文旅方面情况进行了会谈和交流，并和埃及国家旅游局驻中国的有关负责人进行访谈。下面是我们对埃及这个国家旅游业发展现状最新的有关解读——

中国作为埃及旅游业的重要客源国，中国游客的到访对埃及旅游业的发展具有举足轻重的意义。为了进一步提升中国游客在埃及的旅行体验，埃及旅游局不仅提供了便捷的落地签证服务，还精心策划了一系列创新举措。同时，在航班服务上，我们也取得了显著进步。如今，每周有多家航空公司的多班次直飞航班，从中国各大主要城市直飞埃及，为中国游客提供了更为便捷的出行选择。此外，埃及持续投资旅游业，强化基础设施建设，无论是交通网络还是住宿设施，以及旅游景点的配套设施和丰富多彩的娱乐活动，都力求为每一位中国游客带来贴心、舒适的旅程。

埃及旅游业自由化改革和基础设施发展引领新浪潮

埃及的旅游业正经历一场变革性的自由化改革，逐步放宽管制，吸引新投资者，并重新定义了政府与私营部门之间的关系。随着改革的推进，埃及在过去七年中，将国内生产总值的22%投入到基础设施建设中，这一战略性的放松管制和资金分配正逐步显现出成果，彰显了埃及对提升国际旅游声誉的坚定承诺。

在基础设施建设方面，埃及正大力投入以改善交通网络，提升机场设施，并扩展铁路系统。这些重大投资旨在提升全国各地的交通可达性和连通性，为游客提供更加便捷和舒适的旅行体验。

与此同时，埃及的酒店业也在迅速扩张。未来五年内，埃及的酒店房间数量计划翻一番，增至40万间，以满足日益增长的游客需求。这一举措将极大地提升埃及的旅游接待能力，为游客提供更多样化的住宿选择。

埃及国家旅游业发展值得中国借鉴，特别是在文化历史旅游和酒店业发展方面，我们希望有更多的旅游者遇见埃及，喜欢埃及。

On May 27, 2024, at the 2024 ITB Shanghai International Tourism Fair, Mr. Amr El Kady, Director of the Egyptian Tourism Bureau, personally attended the event and conveyed Egypt's warm welcome and earnest expectations for Chinese tourists to us and the attendees. Director Erkadi stated that tourism exchanges between Egypt and China are becoming increasingly close, and Chinese tourists are enthusiastic about this ancient and mysterious country of Egypt. In 2023, Egypt received a total of 230000 Chinese tourists, a year-on-year increase of up to 250%. In the first quarter of 2024 alone, Egypt received 90000 Chinese tourists, a year-on-year increase of 178%. During the May Day Golden Week, Egypt welcomed a large number of Chinese tourists, which greatly inspired the Egyptian Tourism Bureau.

During the trade fair, I met with Amr Elkadi on behalf of the World Hotel Federation and the magazine "Culture and Tourism" to discuss and exchange information on culture and tourism. I also conducted interviews with the relevant officials of the Egyptian National Tourism Administration in China. Here is our latest interpretation of the current development status of the tourism industry in Egypt——

China's Importance to Egyptian TourismAs a crucial source market for Egyptian tourism, the arrival of Chinese tourists plays a significant role in the development of Egypt's tourism industry. To enhance the travel experience for Chinese visitors, the Egyptian Tourism Authority has not only facilitated convenient visa-on-arrival services but also devised a series of innovative measures. There have been significant improvements in flight services as well. Nowadays, multiple airlines operate several direct flights weekly from major Chinese cities to Egypt, offering more convenient travel options for Chinese tourists. Additionally, Egypt continues to invest in its tourism sector, enhancing infrastructure to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable journey for every Chinese visitor, from transportation networks and accommodation facilities to tourist attractions and diverse entertainment activities.

Tourism Liberalization and Infrastructure Development Leading a New Wave

Egypt's tourism industry is undergoing a transformative liberalization, gradually easing regulations to attract new investors and redefine the relationship between the government and the private sector. Over the past seven years, Egypt has invested 22% of its GDP into infrastructure development. This strategic deregulation and financial allocation are starting to yield results, showcasing Egypt's firm commitment to enhancing its international tourism reputation.In terms of infrastructure, Egypt is heavily investing in improving its transportation network, upgrading airport facilities, and expanding the railway system. These major investments aim to enhance accessibility and connectivity nationwide, providing tourists with a more convenient and comfortable travel experience.Simultaneously, Egypt's hotel industry is rapidly expanding. Within the next five years, the number of hotel rooms is set to double to 400,000 to meet the growing demand from tourists. This move will significantly boost Egypt's capacity to accommodate visitors, offering a wider range of accommodation options.Egypt's Tourism Development: A Model for ChinaEgypt's tourism development is noteworthy for China, especially in cultural and historical tourism and the hotel industry. We hope more tourists will discover and fall in love with Egypt.
