He added that in this context it was agreed with Maj. Gen. Ahmed Gamal El Din, Minister of the Interior to develop a plan to secure all tourist areas and the fight against all infringements or chaos in these areas that the officials in the Interior preparing this plan to be presented to the Minister of Interior to coordinate with the Minister of Tourism for approval in a joint meeting of September 5 To confirm the stability of the security situation in Egypt, which would have the greatest impact in pushing a plan to promote the new Egypt.
In the same context, said Hisham Zaazou tourism minister he had decided that the plan promoted under the auspices of scientific and experts, as will be issued a decision this week to restructure and activate the Higher Committee to promote tourism so as not unique to one decisions activation and international campaigns and have opinions of experts and that these will be headed by the minister himself and will begin its meetings During the next few days to discuss a plan campaigns and prepare for the campaign of the new international, particularly after the expiration of the company that produced the campaigns of Egypt in the last three years so that it is producing a new campaign fit and keep events in the Egyptian tourism and contribute to the re-flow of tourists to Egypt again.
said Hisham Zaazou he would take care agenda, the Egyptian tourist on the internal industry events attract tourism and development of tourist areas in conjunction with the various ministries, for example has been agreed with the Minister of State for Antiquities to contribute the Ministry of Tourism with the effects in the development area Pyramids of Giza and it will immediately begin implementation, and contribute to tourism in the financial aspects will be to locate the horses, camels and construction of a wall “barbed wire” around the area to protect it from encroachment and providing courses water modern and mobile security services and that it was agreed to finalize the maximum speed of the implementation of this plan and in no later than Sept. 20 so can be exploited in promoting tourism to Egypt as the Pyramids one of tourist icons Egypt that has to be utilized in the new phase of promoting tourism to Egypt.
In the context of attention to promoting tourism internationally Minister tourism interest in follow-up performance tourist offices abroad and ensure the stand over the activation of its strategy in the coming period, where he met Hisham Zaazou Muhammad Jamal Office Manager Tourism Frankfurt (Germany) in while in Egypt, and reviewed the Director of the Office tourist latest position For inbound tourism from the German market and outlined a plan office in the coming period as well as achievements in the previous period.
The minister stressed the importance of the German market and the need to promote the destination Egyptian non-traditional ways, especially in light of the current conditions in the Egyptian tourism, pointing out that he will continue to perform all the offices in the next stage by himself.

No one in the tourism sector could deny that the  Egypt all inclusive holidays, tours, vacations  Pat is one of the issues that represent a major threat to the tourism industry or specifically the size of the return, including not only in Egypt but also in places or other tourist countries in the world.
Although I have already written and discussed on this page issue inclusive and warned of danger on the extent to which the tourism industry of the revenues of weak national economy, especially in light of the growing force of this system to the degree that made me call this system the virus comprehensive rampant in the body of the Egyptian tourism and weaken or reduces yield material for the benefit of the national economy.
There is no doubt that everyone knows that the reason to say that the deadly virus is that residence overall mean residence cheap or very cheap… So you if you ask for the majority of prices in Egypt, specifically in hotels Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh that accept this system you will find that the price of week to establish a comprehensive flight does not exceed 500 or 600 euros per week including price plane that up to 300 or 350 euros in most cases.
You can imagine that the rest of the amount of EUR 300 for the establishment of food and beverage and means at best 20 euros per person per night to stay, eat and drink, but unfortunately I hear it sometimes down to 12 euros in some hotels…
Does this make sense, and whether these rates in the target that tourism is one of the pillars of the national economy?
I do not think that at all!! But we must consider the issue of prices in general… Unfortunately sometimes some come and impose exaggerated prices on some Arab nationalities which is unacceptable because the prices should be uniform for all nationalities. And can be seasonal all nationalities as well.
Although I, as I said previously wrote in this case. And I got the answers I know in advance which is that hotels and companies compensate these cheap prices in ways that “twisted” that is important to come tourist and companies after organizing special trips him in the desert for Safari, or take to buy from bazaars or any other means compensate the loss.. But I think that in that kind of loss in the state Perhaps compensate private companies losses of those companies that sell at a loss any room price and sells food and drinks for less than the cost in the hope of compensation, as I said …! But the circumvention of the rights of the state and national economy and the weakness of a mental picture of Egyptian tourism and revenue in general.
We have said before that one of the important reasons that must be met in this case, is what we called the “Circle hellish” which is that the system of tourism in Egypt all become dependent on the tourism company that brings tourists which builds and owns the hotel and the bazaar and bus and floating hotel and therefore this system curiosities in return loss on the national economy.. Perhaps back winning or the owner of the company but it is certain that the organization operates and customization in tourism can be a catalyst, to increase tourism income for the benefit of the national economy.
The phenomenon most serious prevalent today and that led to the spread of this virus, “inclusive”, which reached the five-star hotels and companies international hotels operating in Egypt unfortunately that tourism companies global majors such as TUI and deny Mann and others became interested in the “globalization” companies, hotels and branches and partnership in Egypt with major companies and therefore in these companies impose largely introduction inclusive paid tourist advance and therefore, in partnership with his Egyptian counterpart, you can say that a great return back to the outside of these companies do not thing for taking Egyptian companies or the national economy, but proportions slim unfortunately. Some might say I’m exaggerating to talk about inclusive system and its results and some might say that the case in many countries…
And I say yes… But that, of course, must lead us to the issue of quantity and quality in the Egypt tours

We have the state natural ingredients and unique cultural and archaeological and is unprecedented in the world and therefore it requires us to preserve them.
And to choose between quantity and quality that far any care بالكيف and quality in services because that is the way to increase revenue from tourism for the benefit of the national economy. But I can say that the choice of quality is one of the powerful means of blockade of the deadly virus or inclusive.
And may help us in that there is a global trend noticeable in a number of countries in the world tourism major exporting tourism, such as Germany, France and Angeltza to escape from this system, it has become citizens or wishing to travel and tourism tend to look for quality or quality but escape purposes or hotels spreads inclusive system.
The search for privacy and enjoy and communicate with people in the State or the place visited by tourists has become a important objectives of the tourists, which could be called in the science or art of modern marketing “experiment” that is a tourist looking for experience and should give him the experience to enjoy .. Tourists If attracted media campaigns or advertising, but some tourists are looking for a fun experience in travel and tourism and human communication, knowledge and culture which is the ultimate goal for tourism.

Egypt is one of the leading Egypt vacation, Egypt packages, Egypt vacations packages in the world because of its tourist treasures multifaceted, and the most important cultural tourism where ancient civilizations fresh eye, and pronounce what it was constructed Nations those civilizations since the dawn of history.

History

Egypt’s history corresponded in archeological landmarks, which are still there and Troy chapters of its history since the first Pharaonic era, and in many Egyptian museum collections, which records precise details about the life of nations and peoples who lived in the Nile Valley about 7000 years ago and until our time.

And perhaps can be said that the history of Egypt is different from many of the countries that recorded history according to the succession of political regimes that ruled, in the history of Egypt recorded successive civilizations and left after the demise heritage received by the back to add to it.

The history of Egypt overlap novel archaeological and historical with novel religious, between the story of families ancient Pharaonic and came in divine books of stories of our prophets who crossed Egypt and lived there and ties them with its people Copts and up to the beginning of history Arab Muslim who is considered inauguration actual modern Egypt when taken conqueror Amr Ibn al-from Cairo Fustat site the capital of a mandate.

We have codified the novel religious history of Egypt, but the direction of inspiration lessons and sermons and instilled the values ​​of standardization and right and justice and advocacy for the worship of the one God and with the beginning of Islamic Arab rule began codification history of Egypt takes attributes documentation and arrangement and detail frequently for narrators and recording in the first books.

Egypt has received on documented evidence sensual, more than any other country pharaohs, language decipher hieroglyphic a Champollion combine with books narrators Arabs and Muslims with religious novel that came in the heavenly books and access to recordings of the narrators, travelers and explorers and Western Orient lists.

And Egypt Museum not bounded space and time, where evidence and landmarks Troy civilizations and stories Copts and the Pharaohs and the Holy Family and the Greeks and Romans, Arabs and Muslims who have settled in nearly 15 centuries where and recognized identity Arab-Islamic roots of civilization multiple, and where the effects of the hallmarks of the invaders who dared to hope and crossed and deported from French and English and others.

Civilized can recognize that the modern state of Egypt was founded at the beginning of the era of the great family of Muhammad Ali, who came from Albania and Ottoman ruler scene walks mandate towards independence and laid the foundations of modern renaissance aspiring young to European civilization and organized by the carrier and its methods and its manifestations.

The family continued to rule this out that Egyptians took the reins of their country in the July 23 / July 1952 to begin the era of the Egyptian republic to take over the late President Gamal Abdel Nasser’s leadership directed helm towards asserting its bond and its Arab-Islamic identity and its leading role in the Arab region until the present day.

With the beginning of the nineteenth century, Egypt witnessed waves colonial powers coming from Europe, the first is the French expedition led by Napoleon in 1798 and had a cultural impact on Egyptian society, and the second is the British occupation in 1882, which lasted until Gelaúh ​​after the revolution of July 1952.

We talk about Egypt luxury tours  marketing … Thought and science and art… I often say and write on this page, we often are far from new ideas in marketing and is still ruled by traditional thinking and remember that we are on this page on visit of U.S. President Obama to Egypt… We said that this visit, they can be an opportunity to increase the promotion and marketing of  Egypt spiritual tours, Egypt meditation holidays

..But we always wasting opportunities.. And talking after the birth… But be prepared to seize opportunities… That is far away thinking about.

I have explained before that the promotion and marketing… Something else. For example, media attention all over the world visit was great too… But more importantly for tourism marketing of the visit or tour of Obama or what is called in English the Obama Tour. And converted to tourist programs and specific rates are limited.

Just photos of the visit and the media attention it it kind of promotion and building a positive image of Egypt and its implications and its tourism sector… but it was most important for the specialists is marketing the sense that it should have been there from thinking or even draw tourism companies of the need to turn photos or places visited by Obama to any specific programs are marketed and sold because it was expected to demand much in the tradition of this round the world or its implementation and this is what we call it ..

I was surprised stresses including these words from Dr. Zahi Hawass, who asked him many international figures in the implementation of their desire for a round of Obama Tours the same itinerary of any trip or tour of Obama.

Therefore surprised that Dr. Hawass in the Egyptian tourism companies have not announced such a program, which guarantees the sale price turned out in large and global.

Perhaps what is published in Egyptian newspapers yesterday on the visit of U.S. General of Antiquities of Egypt and request the same itinerary tour of Obama confirms that… and emphasizes the difference between promotion and marketing, is that Antoni to miss the opportunities and do not know anything about marketing as an ideology and as a science and an art and new ideas.

We have read a lot of ideas have been implemented since the beginning of the global financial crisis in Dubai, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong and Britain, such as free tickets to visit the States, such as activation of domestic tourism campaigns, incentives and offers new and unconventional…

But when we stopped thinking of ideas to stimulate the old traditional charter and joint campaigns, despite the reservations of some of them… Most of this is that the sector does not know about marketing only burn down prices or prices and does not know anything about fair competition and quality in services.

Did not provide one of those responsible for marketing and activation of the Egyptian tourism a new idea or a new program…

Read the report with me, published by The New York Times, United States 10 days ago about the new ideas in marketing should learn from it .. The report says:

Last year, tourism companies struggled to cope with things that were affecting the tourists concerned, such as increased gasoline prices, which led to increase the price of airline tickets.

But those days ago, so beautiful The report of the New York Times a few days ago, deterioration in the global economy since the end of last year made it difficult to travel on tourism from the ground up and not complaining of high prices.

As a result of this take-off on the part of tourists to travel, the airlines, hotels, resorts and other tourism facilities intensify its attempts to lure tourists to travel again.

Says Tony Kortezas vice president of marketing for a well-known hotels in the city of Miami, it is very difficult now to convince tourists change their behavior of refusing to travel in light of the current economic situation.

The hotel started this group a huge propaganda campaign to win over the tourists not only in Miami but to travel to branches in the city of Cancun, Mexico known as the most important tourist city there.

In the campaign group presented a very significant reductions to stay in its hotels, but the group find it difficult given the economic crisis and also because of the emergence of swine influenza virus in Mexico, which led to an unprecedented decline in travel to Mexico.

And other means devised by the Department of Tourism in Islands Kimat a group of islands located in the western Caribbean and keep track of the British crown, to activate its tourism and the means is a movie duration of 90 minutes was filmed there and offers to the tourist information illustrated on the islands and is shown the film in the cities of Miami and New York and Tampa, Florida of the United States.

Has been selected these cities because Kimat Airways flies directly from there.

Has other countries such as Panama, for example by using YouTube to make propaganda for the places of tourist and persuade tourists to travel to it after the significant decline as a result of the economic crisis and of course there are financial temptations and opportunities to win prizes and other means of propaganda.

Most of the campaigns, tourism aimed mainly American tourists are therefore directed to U.S. cities and specific message that you say these campaigns that the tourist trip at this stage that have a low number of tourists would be tempting, where will the services and attention and substantial reductions of up to half the price in 2008 almost.

And tourism companies and resorts as well as governments in the use of modern technology of the Internet to YouTube and other to convey their message to potential tourists, urging them to take advantage of this temptation, reductions and Tourism to make a trip now.

Actually the modern tourism marketing in the world right now… The thought and science, art and innovation and new ideas… But we here in Egypt has stopped us at the time many years ago..!
