#SupportEgypt is the campaign that aims to represent the best face of Egypt to the rest of the world. The image which you don’t see via the media. Our mission is to change people’s perception and understanding of Egypt and the Middle East peaceful nature.
Currently Egyptian Tourism industry facing a very challenging time after two revolutions, tourism related businesses were impacted immensely by the highly sensitive political and economic atmosphere. Egypt’s tourism sector has lost roughly $1.3 billion since a Russian plane crash in Sinai last year.
On January 2016, three foreign tourists have been injured after attackers stormed into a hotel in Hurghada which impacted the Egyptian Red Sea resort reputation.
Why this event?
As a moment of celebration #SupportEgypt organizes an event with the purpose of reinforcing the message of positivity.
- Red Sea is one of the areas that is most suffering for the loss of credibility on the safety of the country.
- Gathering to create a day of happiness and leisure is the best way to show how quiet, peaceful and far from the truth shown by media a day on the Red Sea can be.
- March 26th the date, at the opening of the new season for holidays with the wish that it will be a good omen for the future.
- The event is also meant to be a moment of celebration and occasion to feel united for resident.
- The community of Hurghada will benefit of a day of energy and good mood that can give a different perspective about the future.
