Egyptian tourism revenues exceeded $13 bn in 2021, returning to pre-pandemic levels, Al Borsa<\/a> reports Deputy Tourism Minister Ghada Shalaby as saying, citing a Reuters story.<\/p>\n

The sector has been recovering on the back of the lifting of travel restrictions worldwide and mass vaccination programs at home and abroad. Tourism revenues hit a record high of $13.03 bn in 2019 before dropping nearly 70% in 2020 on the back of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

The recovery looks to have been faster than anyone expected:<\/strong> 2021 revenues eclipsed the USD 6-9 bn target set by the ministry last summer. And lest we forget, this time last year the ministry wasn\u2019t hoping for a recovery in tourist numbers until the fall of 2022 \u2014 while others had said we might not see the sector bounce back until 2024.<\/p>\n

Most of the revenues came in <\/strong>2H2021<\/strong>: <\/strong>Tourism revenues reached around USD 3.1 bn in 1H2021, according to balance of payments data \u2014 meaning that revenues in the second half of 2021 recorded at least USD 9.9 bn (surpassing the range the ministry had hoped to see for the full year.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
