Prime Minister Sherif Ismail approved the formation of the Supreme Committee for the Revitalisation of Tourism with members including the ministers of tourism and aviation, governors of South Sinai, the Red Sea, and Luxor, and seven investors from the tourism sector. This came during a meeting between the prime minister and investors from the tourism sector held on Wednesday in Sharm El-Sheikh. Kamel Abu Ali, head of the Red Sea Investors Association, told Daily News Egypt that the Supreme Committee for the Revitalisation of Tourism is mandated to develop marketing and promotional plans for tourist destinations in Egypt. He pointed to the preliminary approval of the prime minister to postpone the government dues on the tourism sector until the end of this year. Tourism investors requested postponing the sector’s dues to the government agencies to the end of December 2017, and Ismail promised to study this matter in order to ease the burden on investors.
