The vaccination of almost two million tourism workers is being prioritised in Egypt in order to support the tourism sector’s recovery.
The country’s tourism industry is recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, and ‘the sector has picked up in recent months, with more visitors heading to resorts along the Red Sea and Mediterranean coasts’ reported CGTN Africa.
‘In May, I will announce, along with the minister of health, the complete vaccination of Egyptian workers in hotels, resorts, businesses, and restaurants in South Sinai and the Red Sea,’ said Tourism and Antiquities Minister Khaled al-Enani.
Enani hopes that the number of tourists visiting the country will increase in the near future especially with other countries opening travel and the easing of restrictions.
The discovery of new archaeological discoveries has been announced by Cairo and Egypt hopes this will revive a sector that has been battered by political unrest.
