These activities include tourism programmes for the delegations participating in the 27th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention on Climate Change (COP27), which Egypt will host in Sharm El-Sheikh next November. Tourism programmes for the COP27 participants come amid a national strategy by the cabinet to connect all economic sectors to the environmental targets, particularly as Egypt the current host of the climate summit. In a press statement, the minister explained that the tourism programmes will be conducted in famous Egyptian tourist destinations, such as the cities of Sharm El Sheikh, Hurghada, Luxor, Aswan and others. Issa pointed out that the desired goal of this strategy is to increase the number of incoming tourism to Egyptian tourist destinations by 25% to 30% annually. Tourists would also be able to enjoy the different tourist patterns and products that the Egyptian tourist destination offers, including beach and recreational tourism, cultural tourism, family and adventure tourism, and other diverse tourism products.
