Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Holds Meetings with Japanese Tour Operators and Travel Companies

During his visit to Tokyo to participate in Tourism Expo Japan, Mr. Sherif Fathy, Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, held a series of professional meetings with Japanese tour operators and travel company representatives, as well as media engagements with leading Japanese media outlets. These meetings were attended by Egypt’s Ambassador to Japan, Mr. Ragai El-Etreby.

The discussions focused on ways to enhance cooperation in promoting Egypt as a tourist destination, leveraging the country's diverse tourism products and experiences, and developing new tour programs tailored to the interests and expectations of Japanese tourists to attract more visitors from the Japanese market.

Discussions also addressed the possibility of coordinating with the Egyptian Tourism Promotion Board to organize familiarization trips for Japanese tour operators and travel companies. These trips would allow them to experience Egypt’s tourism offerings firsthand, while also providing them with promotional films and materials to help market the destination to their clients.

Furthermore, both sides emphasized the importance of increasing direct flights between Egypt and Japan to meet the growing demand from the Japanese market for travel to Egypt.
