Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities has contracted with the American McCann Company to implement a promotional campaign for Egypt, according to ministry’s statement on Friday.

The campaign will launch in the last quarter of 2022, coinciding with the Ministry’s organising number of important events, including the celebration of World Tourism Day September 27, Tourism Authority’s CEO Amr El-Kaady said.

El-Kady explained that McCann will implement number of plans through various promotion mechanisms and creative ideas.

Moreover, the company will also prepare the advertising materials and publications on social media platforms and various websites.

The campaign will also include holding promotional events in Egypt and abroad, producing advertising materials for all visual, print, audio and electronic media.

McCann will purchase advertising space on various media outlets in different markets such as television, press, electronic means, and road advertisements, according to the statement.

World Tourism Day is the 200th anniversary of the deciphering of ancient Egyptian writing and the emergence of Egyptology.
