A range of financial incentives have been agreed to help kick-start inbound tourism to Egypt in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
The measures aim to encourage travel to the country when international flights are allowed to resume, according to the Egyptian State Tourist Office.
Aircraft landing and parking fees are to be halved and a 20% discount offered on ground services in South Sinai, Hurghada and Matrouh airports.
Meanwhile, cut price aviation fuel will be offered to airlines.
EgyptAir passengers on international flights will receive a 20% discount on entrance tickets and visitor passes to museums and archaeological sites across the country.
Egypt’s tourism and antiquities ministry adopted a new policy prior to the Covid-19 crisis to connect cultural tourism along the Nile Valley with coastal tourism on the Red Sea with the first domestic flight in February between Sharm El-Sheikh and Luxor.
