The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities announced in a press statement recently that in 2022, 431 hotel and tourism facilities and new marine activity centres were opened and operated across Egypt, which created 4,532 new job opportunities. This comes within the framework of the strategic goals of the tourism ministry to increase hotel capacity and tourism activities across Egypt and encourage tourism investment. Mohamed Amer — Head of the Central Administration for Hotel Establishments, Shops, and Tourist Activities — explained that these establishments consist of 24 hotels, 165 restaurants, 12 new hotel management companies, 10 diving centres, 15 activity centres, 23 yacht safari centres, a mountain safari centre, and 181 bazaars.
