Kairo, 020524 (IPS) – Turistindustrin i Egypten drabbades mycket h\u00e5rt av terrorattackerna mot USA den elfte september. Men nu, \u00e5tta m\u00e5nader senare, tror man att det v\u00e4rsta kan vara \u00f6ver. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Innan terrorattackerna var turismen den viktigaste inkomstk\u00e4llan f\u00f6r utrikesvaluta i Egypten. \u00c5r 2000 bidrog 5,4 miljoner turister med motsvarande 4,3 miljarder dollar i inkomster.<\/p>\n
Till en b\u00f6rjan oroade man sig f\u00f6r att terrorattackerna skulle f\u00f6rst\u00f6ra f\u00f6r landets turistindustri i flera \u00e5r fram\u00e5t. Oron visade sig vara \u00f6verdriven, men terrorattackerna har \u00e4nd\u00e5 lett till stora f\u00f6rluster, eftersom m\u00e5nga penningstarka turister h\u00e5llit sig borta fr\u00e5n Mellan\u00f6stern.<\/p>\n
Enligt turistminister Mamdouh el-Beltagui sj\u00f6nk turismen med som mest drygt 50 procent i november f\u00f6rra \u00e5ret, innan den visade tecken p\u00e5 att stiga igen.<\/p>\n
Till statliga medier s\u00e4ger han att siffran nu ligger p\u00e5 en ungef\u00e4rlig minskning p\u00e5 10 procent mot normalt.<\/p>\n
– Det betyder att vi \u00e4r p\u00e5 r\u00e4tt v\u00e4g igen, om det inte pl\u00f6tsligt intr\u00e4ffar nya chocker.<\/p>\n
\u00c4ven Ahmed el-Khadem, chef f\u00f6r Egyptens turismr\u00e5d, tror att den sv\u00e5raste tiden f\u00f6r landets turistindustri nu \u00e4r \u00f6ver.<\/p>\n
– Det finns positiva tecken p\u00e5 en \u00e5terh\u00e4mtning. Vi kan med s\u00e4kerhet s\u00e4ga att antalet fyllda hotellplatser nu \u00e4r 85 procent av det normala, s\u00e4ger han till IPS.<\/p>\n
