“…All destinations, worldwide, will confront the challenge of building market confidence in safety arrangements that are in place in order to protect visitors, tourism workers and the local community. Many African destinations faced issues with regard to perceived visitor safety prior to the onset of the pandemic (Donaldson & Ferreira, 2009;George & Booyens, 2014;Avraham, 2016); such concerns have been exacerbated by new veils of personal safety fears relating to personal and public health. Researching the underpinning concerns for personal safety alongside those created by the current crisis on a destination-by-destination basis in Africa will be a crucial step for supporting recovery and enable destinations and operators to put in place measures that reassure and protect across all sub-sectors of the industry.…”

COVID-19 has triggered a burst of international scholarship concerning the reshaping of tourism and the resetting of tourism research agendas. The aim of this paper is to tease out some implications for reorienting the African tourism research agenda from 2020 and beyond. Arguably, an appropriate African research response to COVID-19 in the context of tourism must embrace a genuine transdisciplinary approach and draw in researchers who would not, historically, have operated in the tourism space. Seven key themes are discussed namely, market confidence; dependence on international long-haul tourists; supporting regional and domestic tourism especially VFR travel; redefining communitybased tourism; informal sector resilience; climate change; and, addressing present-mindedness in African tourism scholarship.

“…In addition, Saeed Pasha also followed the path of his predecessors and issued in March 1857 the Said Regulation that organized Matters related to tourists from their arrival in Egypt during their stay to their departure. Foreigners flocked to Egypt during the era of Khedive Ismail, whether for work or tourism, and helped in the flow of tourism to Egypt during that period, its participation in international exhibitions, and taking advantage of the occasion of the opening of the Suez Canal for international navigation to propagate tourism to Egypt (Aziz, 1995;Shaalan, 2005;Avraham, 2016; Salah Eli Din, 2020).…”

Tourism in Egypt is one of the most important sources of national income, with the annual dollar revenues it provides, and the foreign currency returns that enabled it to participate significantly in the gross domestic product, and to combat unemployment by employing a wide segment of the workforce in Egypt. Egypt is one of the most prominent tourist countries in the world, with its number of tourists arriving in the world, and it is distinguished by the abundance of tourist attractions of all kinds, the spread of temples, museums, monuments, historical and artistic buildings and vast gardens on its land, and its possession of strong infrastructure based on serving the tourism sector, including Hotel rooms, villages, tourist resorts, tourism companies and airline offices. In this paper, we present an overview of tourism in Egypt and its impact on the Egyptian economy based on a data published by the World Tourism Organization (2019) and by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, 2017. We indicate the types of tourism in Egypt. We present the factors which have an impact on tourism in Egypt. Finally, we present the contribution of tourism in Egyptian economy. From our analysis, it has been shown that tourism is one of the most important fields in Egypt and indeed in all countries around the world, but tourism in Egypt is characterized by many factors, as Egypt abounds in many recreational and tourist places, and there is also religious tourism because Egypt has many religious places.

Previous studies have argued that tourism policy has a long‐term positive relationship with tourism development. This study explored temporal trends in and seasonal effects of the number of tourists traveling to Taiwan between 2001 and 2016, and compared the effects of adjustments in tourism policy on tourism development to determine whether Taiwan's international tourism policies have had long‐term effects on tourism development. Temporal trends and seasonal factors were not significantly related to adjustments in tourism policy but there was a relationship between the economic status of tourist exporters and Taiwan's tourist development.
