Tourism workers optimistic as Zaazou returns to ministry

Prime Minister Sherif Ismail has appointed Hisham Zaazou as Minister of Tourism in the new caretaker government. Zaazou swore the constitutional oath before President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi on Saturday morning.

Tourism workers said they are optimistic about Zaazou’s ministerial return considering his strong relations with tourism exporting markets.

Many thorny issues await Zaazou, which he will have to consider promptly, according to sector insiders. They said the most important problems Zaazou will have to deal with include the restoration of oversees confidence in Egyptian tourism, and work towards abolishing recently reissued travel warnings.

According to Chairman of the Tourism Investors Association (TIA) in Marsa Alam Adel Rady, Zaazou has to move fast in overseas markets, especially in Europe, to restore confidence in Egyptian tourism utilising his strong relations with foreign trip organisers.

Rady added that Zaazou has a stronger position compared to former tourism minister Khaled Rami, especially regarding his presence at international events in major tourist exporting markets.

Zaazou was first assigned as Minister of Tourism in 2012 under then-prime minister Hesham Qandil, continuing in the governments of Hazem El-Beblawi and Ibrahim Mehleb, before leaving in March.

According to a Ministry of Tourism official, Zaazou returned to the Ministry of Tourism after he swore the oath, and met with ministry leaders.

Egypt’s total tourism income between January and July amounted to $3.6bn, according to another Ministry of Tourism official. The official added that future meetings will focus on the restoration of a strong ministry presence at major tourism exporting markets with the launch of the promotional campaign by the beginning of October.

Elhamy El-Zayat, Chairman of the Egyptian Federation of Chambers of Tourism, believes the federation has a strong relationship with Zaazou. El-Zayat said that the federation is coordinating with the ministry to face off the crises from which the sector is currently suffering.

One of the most important problems the sector is facing, according to El-Zayat, is the decline in tourist and low income in the sector, which has negatively affected its ability to work and improve the quality of its services.
