The Economic Importance of Tourism
The word “tour” is derived from the Latin word “tornaro” and the
Greek word “tornos”, meaning, the movement around a central point or
axis. The World Tourism Organization define tourist as “people travelling
to and staying صورة
in places outside their usual environment صورةfor leisure,
business and other purposes”.
It is very well known that tourism is a strategic economic activity for
any state. As for Egypt, tourism is a key pillar of Egypt's economy.
Tourism became an important sector of the economy from 1975 onwards,
as Egypt eased visa restrictions for almost all European and North
American countries and established embassies in new countries
like Finland.
The income of Egypt derived from tourism increased from $300
million in 1982 to $3.8 billion in 1997, reflecting the growth of number of
tourists from one million to 4.2 million over the same period.
In 2015 tourism sector increased by 3.7%, and the tourism sector
held a total of 284 million jobs in 2015.
