This article displays the fatal crises and evaluates their impacts on the tourism activity in Egypt, particularly the crisis after the revolution of January 25, 2011. Moreover, it suggests a policy that includes different components that need to be addressed for the establishment of

manage the crisis of January 25 and all the prior crises; therefore, the development of an appropriate CMP would be extremely essential.
