German tour operators said holidaymakers may once again book trips to Egypt’s Sharm el-Sheikh after the German foreign office eased travel advice for the destination.
TUI Germany said customers would be able to book trips from 21 July. The smaller tour operator FTI also said it was offering holidays to the beach resort. The German foreign office had advised against travel throughout the Sinai peninsula, where Sharm el-Sheikh is situated, and recommended any tourists at the region’s beach resorts return home early.
Germans and Russians are most numerous visitors to Egypt. The country’s revenue from tourism plunged 41% to US$5.9 billion last year after waves of unrest since the Arab Spring uprising in 2011.
