Internal Tourism Hits 25% In South Sinai

The occupancy rates in South Sinai hotels reached around 60% last June; while occupancy rates for Egyptians have reached 25%.

Adel Shoukri, the secretary general for Hotels Chamber in South Sinai, has mentioned that the occupancy rates in South Sinai hotels have improved to reach 60% backed by the internal tourism. Internal tourism represents 25% of the inbound tourism as citizens spend summer vacation during this period before the coming of holy month, Ramadan.

Shoukri forecast that the coming days will witness higher rates of Italian incoming tourism within the second half of July.

“It shall compensate the decline which the internal tourism will incur during Ramadan.” Shoukri

“25% of internal tourism is a very considerable rate during this time in particular compared to previous seasons in which much remarkably lower rates recorded.”

“These high rates are boosted by the offers made by hotels to have competitive tour packages.”
