Impact of Egypt's Revolution On Tourism
As the 2011 uprisings took place, the national industry of tourism declined. In 2011, visitors decreased by 37%. The number of visitors were 9 million in 2011 while it was over 14 million in 2010. This has had an influence on all other areas which ranges from travel accommodation to car rental, air transportation, health and wellness and tourist attractions, with value growth rates across the board declining to double digit territory. Tourism operators introduced heavy discounts in order to drain tourists back and prices remained low at the beginning of 2012.
