Ke nānā nei ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi o ʻAigupita i kahi hoʻomaha maikaʻi o ka makahiki ma hope o ka hōʻike ʻana ua hana ʻo ʻAigupita ma luna o 100 miliona mau pō mākaʻikaʻi a me $ 9.5 biliona i nā loaʻa huakaʻi mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kēia makahiki.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Hope Kuhina Kūʻai ʻo Hisham Zaazou i ka loaʻa kālā mai ka mākaʻikaʻi i ʻike i ka piʻi nui ʻana i nā hapaha ʻelua i hala. “Ua hōʻike ʻo ʻAigupita i kahi kūlana hōʻea mākaʻikaʻi ma o ka lilo ʻana i helu helu hoʻokahi no ka mākaʻikaʻi ma ka Middle East, North Africa a me ʻApelika ponoʻī. Hōʻike wale kēia i ka manaʻo o nā mea hoʻokele kaʻahele honua i kahi kuleana kuleana a me ke komo ʻana i kahi huakaʻi ponoʻī. ʻO kā lākou kuleana o kā mākou ʻoihana hoʻokele kaʻa e hōʻoiaʻiʻo i ka hoʻomau a me ka hoʻomau o ka ʻoihana i nā makahiki e hiki mai ana, "wahi āna.

ʻO ke kiʻekiʻe o ka mākaʻikaʻi Arabian no ʻAigupita he 20 pakeneka o ka hōʻea ʻana mai o ka ʻāina, e hōʻike ana i ka 11.1 miliona mau mākaʻikaʻi hōʻea i ʻAigupita mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka makahiki a hiki i ka hapaha mua o 2008. Ua hoʻolilo ka ʻāina i ka 80 biliona paona ʻAigupita i ka ʻoihana. "Ke ulu nei nā kālā i kēia manawa ke hoʻomau nei mākou i ke kono ʻana i nā mea hoʻopukapuka e lawe mai i kā lākou ʻoihana i nā manawa kūʻokoʻa inā ma ka mākaʻikaʻi a i ʻole nā ʻāpana hoʻohui i lawelawe ʻia e ia a i ʻole nā hana pili e like me ka hale ʻaina a me nā kaola. Ua wehe ʻo ʻAigupita no ka ʻoihana, "wahi a Zaazou.

Ua hoʻonui ʻia ka hōʻea ʻana mai o ka honua ma ʻAigupita e like me ka hōʻike ʻana e ka United Nations World Tourism Organization me nā helu i hoʻonui ʻia i ka 8.5 pakeneka o nā hōʻea honua honua i helu ʻia e ka UNWTO ma ka huina o 50 miliona i ka makahiki i hala no ka huakaʻi. Hōʻike ʻia kēia kaʻana, e like me Zaazou, kahi hoʻokō maikaʻi loa e ka kālepa mākaʻikaʻi o ʻAigupita ma 2007.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua hana maikaʻi ka hui aupuni a me ka hui pilikino e komo ana i ka ʻoihana i kēia manawa i hala aku nei e hōʻike ana e ʻoi aku ka ikaika o ka hoʻokūkū a me ka ʻāʻī a me ka ʻāʻī i nā makahiki e hiki mai ana.

Ma ka ʻike ʻana i nā manaʻolana ʻoihana o ke Kuhina Kūʻai ʻo ʻAigupita ʻo Zoheir Gharana, hiki i ʻAigupita ke hōʻea i ka huina o 14 miliona i hiki mai i ka makahiki 2010/2011. Ua ʻōlelo pū ʻo Zaazou, ua hoʻolilo ʻo United Arab Emirates i $ 4 biliona ma ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi o ʻAigupita, ʻo ia ka 30 pakeneka o ka nui o ka hoʻopukapuka Arab ma ka ʻāina.

Ua hōʻoia ʻo Zaazou, ke Kuhina Kūkākūkā kōkua mua o ka ʻāina, ʻo ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi he 11.3 pākēneka o ka waiwai nui o ʻAigupita (GDP) a me 19.3 pākēneka o ka huina kālā i hana ʻia i nā kālā ʻē.

Aia ʻo ʻAigupita i ke alakaʻi o ka ʻāina Hikina Hikina, ma ʻaneʻi 11.1 miliona mau mākaʻikaʻi i kipa aku i ka ʻāina, e kū'ē ana i ka 9 miliona ma 2006; e hōʻailona ana i kahi piʻi nui he 22.1 pakeneka. No laila, a e like me ka Central Bank of Egypt, ua hōʻea ka loaʻa kālā o ka mākaʻikaʻi iā US $ 9.4 miliona ma 2007.

ʻO Rūsia ka helu ʻekahi kumu kūʻai ma 2007, me ka hōʻea ʻana i ka 1.5 miliona, e lanakila ana iā Kelemania a me UK, nona nā helu i ʻoi aku ma mua o 1 miliona mau mākaʻikaʻi ma 2007. Ua ukali ʻo Italia me 983,000, a ua kū ʻo Farani ma 464,000 mau mākaʻikaʻi. ʻO ka hōʻea ʻana i ʻAigupita mai ka Hikina Hikina, ua hōʻea lākou i kahi kokoke i 2 miliona mau mākaʻikaʻi, ʻoi aku me Libya ma 439,000, ukali ʻia e Saudi Arabia ma 412,000. ʻO ka hōʻea ʻana mai Ukraine mai i 358,000, a ukali ʻia e Polani me 335,000, a
ʻO ka 10 o ka papa inoa o ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi i hiki mai ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa me 272,000 mau mākaʻikaʻi i hōʻea i ʻAigupita.

Ua hauʻoli ʻo ʻAigupita i ka loaʻa kālā pālua ma kēlā me kēia lumi i loaʻa (i kapa ʻia ʻo revPAR) ka ulu ʻana i kēlā me kēia mākeke, ua hōʻike ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi.
