#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.
