The Ministry of Tourism is working diligently to meet the needs of the labor market and improve the tourism services offered. It is committed to training human resources in the tourism and antiquities sectors. The Ministry participated in a workshop organized by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the International Labour Organization (ILO), entitled "Shaping the Future of Tourism Skills in Egypt: Lessons Learned from the Establishment of the Egyptian Sectoral Skills Council for Tourism." This workshop aimed to launch the Egyptian Sectoral Skills Council for Tourism (SSCT). Take advantage of our Egypt Travel Packages and choose the one that suits you best, whether it's a classic tour, a honeymoon, or something else.

This workshop marked the culmination of several months of collaboration between stakeholders in the development of the Sectoral Skills Council for Tourism (SSCTC). The SSCTC serves as a platform for structured dialogue between the public and private sectors and industry partners to address labor market skills needs, professional standards, and the quality of training programs.

Representatives from the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation, the Egyptian Federation of Chambers of Tourism, and the European Union participated in the workshop. Enjoy Luxury Egypt Travel Packages and discover the luxury and intimacy this country offers. For example, you can choose from the Pyramids, a Nile cruise, and a luxury tour of Sharm El Sheikh to visit the most important and famous sites, including the City of Peace.

The advisor to the Minister of Tourism and Antiquities welcomed this progress, the result of years of hard work and sustained effort. She emphasized the vital importance of the tourism sector to the Egyptian economy and the essential role of tourism professionals, whom she considered the cornerstone of the industry, as the tourist experience relies heavily on their direct interaction with visitors. During the workshop's opening session, she invited everyone to take advantage of the unique excursions offered by Egypt Day Tours, for themselves and their families. She also encouraged them to discover the people of Aswan through Aswan Day Tours, particularly by exploring its markets. Finally, she invited them to attend the sound and light show at the Temple of Philae, a truly unique and unforgettable experience.

Dr. Suha concluded by highlighting how the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, in collaboration with the Egyptian Federation of Chambers of Tourism, continues to support human resource development, improve the quality of training, and facilitate access to employment, thereby contributing to the creation of a more professional, competitive, and sustainable tourism sector. She emphasized that, because individuals are creative, true tourism investment relies first and foremost on people, not solely on infrastructure or facilities.
