Cairo, Egypt – 24 December 2025 — Entlaq, Egypt’s leading policy and research think tank focused on entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic transformation, has officially launched Egypt’s Tourism Sector Performance Report, a comprehensive, data-driven assessment outlining how Egypt can transform its tourism sector through digital reform, TourismTech innovation, and inclusive growth. The report was launched in partnership with El Gouna as Platinum Sponsor, underscoring the destination’s role as a national model for sustainable, technology-enabled tourism development.
The launch comes at a critical moment for Egypt’s tourism sector. In 2024, Egypt received 15.7 million international tourists, the highest annual arrivals in the country’s history. Tourism currently contributes approximately 8.5% of national GDP, generates USD 14–15 billion in annual foreign exchange earnings, and directly and indirectly supports around 2.5 million jobs. Despite this strong rebound, the report finds that value capture per visitor remains below potential, limiting productivity gains and long-term resilience.
