Egypt e-visa push prompts tourism concerns
Egypt has focused on expanding its electronic visa system to facilitate tourists' entry procedures and increase the number of visitors, with an expected growth rate of between 5% and 7% this year, reaching more than 20 million tourists. This aims to enhance its competitive edge in tourism and attract greater investments. The steps include issuing visas electronically via a QR system and soon launching a pilot application. Despite resistance from some to cancel visa fees, experts believe that fees are not the decisive factor in travel decisions. The ongoing updates reflect security stability and positive indicators of growth in the Egyptian tourism sector, despite geopolitical tensions.
