I’m curious what your thoughts are about the upcoming elections in terms of travel? It’s a question I’ve gotten often and have my opinions about but would be interested to hear a second opinion from someone still there.

I was in Cairo during the revolution, and I am still here, and I don’t feel in danger or scared. As long as you read newspapers or check Twitter often, you can always know if there is some inconvenience and avoid it!

Tourism will definitely be a huge part of the recovery; people going now can certainly help (their own wallets as well) since they economy is suffering quite a bit due to the hit in tourism.

Would you say that by going to Egypt now it would help them a little getting back on their feet?

May would have been a good time to kick things off in my opinion, but there is an incredible amount of disorganization at many levels of Egyptian tourism. Even before the revolution, I think this disorganization probably sets Egypt far lower than its overall tourism potential.

I’m digressing a bit but am of the mind that publicity events would be a good idea – just after the late fall elections. It will be an unpredictable time and think the most effective push can be made after. Most likely next spring – there are some rumblings among the tourism boards I spoke with, if they can get their act together it would be great for Egyptian tourism (and the economy as a result).
