00:00 The Prime Minister made it clear when he was sitting, we are talking about why we should compete.
00:06 On the contrary, we have opportunities for the two countries to grow in the field of tourism and attracting tourists who want the Egyptian product and the Saudi product.
00:17 Today, Prime Minister Ahmad Yusuf was pointing out that we want to see a regional product that invites tourists to visit Egypt and Saudi Arabia to see something here and something there.
00:28 Maybe the distance between Egypt and Saudi Arabia is very close, much closer than many European countries,
00:36 which is really the regional visits and the targeting of the distant markets, it is very important that we invest in this.
00:46 When can we see a product that connects a tourist visiting Egypt and Saudi Arabia in one tour?
00:52 There must be a very high coordination between the two countries to complete this, and this was the focus of the talk today.
01:00 This is the first time that this proposal and this thinking is being proposed, but it is very welcome and we see that there can be a face of investment in this way.
01:12 Many talks about the impact of the tourism sector in Egypt, including in Gaza, that there are cancellations of tourists.
01:20 What is the situation in the tourism sector now, despite the continuation of events in Gaza?
01:24 Let's be clear and honest, Egypt was actually taking a very broad and reliable step in increasing the number of tourists and tourist arrivals.
01:36 We are expecting an unprecedented tourist season, which has never happened before in terms of arrivals and confirmed reservations.
01:45 The fact of the war and the mention of the name Egypt in the media, especially the distant media, did not clearly show how much Egypt will be in its role,
01:55 but with the stability of the situation and with the stability of the political situation, Egypt is clearly dealing with the crisis,
02:05 and that it is playing its role in humanitarian aid and providing all the humanitarian aid to the needy.
02:13 This may have been revealed, and therefore the shock that occurred at the beginning of the crisis,
02:19 which caused a slowdown in the demand for Egyptian products, slowed down at first, but we see that there is a noticeable increase in the number of arrivals.
02:32 How many tourists have arrived since the beginning of the year?
02:35 We have reached the 13 million mark, God willing, and we are on our way to the 15 million mark.
02:43 God willing, we will be able to reach it.
02:45 Is this an increase in the target 25% every year?
02:48 It is the 25% to 30% target, and God willing, we will be able to reach it with the help of the private sector,
02:54 and with the trust of the travel agencies in the Egyptian product, and in the ability of the tourism companies and tourism hotels to provide the service as the tourist aims for and as promised, and God willing, we will be able to reach this target.
