And who will be worse off?
Well, let's see who will be worse if the "Muslim brothers" come to power and the whole of Egypt will live according to Sharia law, without tourism. Yes, and please ... We will find where to relax (although it's a pity for Egypt), but here they are veins" just bend!!! and will live even poorer. And rightly so... What do you think will happen to Egyptian tourism?

I very sincerely hope that in the end we will not lose our holiday in our beloved Egypt. But, I think that now no one will undertake to make specific predictions. The fact that Egypt will suffer without tourism is clear to everyone. There are ALREADY multi-million dollar losses. They cannot survive without tourism, I think that they understand this too, therefore, let's hope for their prudence.

Judging by what is happening with them now, there is not enough prudence there. Of course, I feel sorry for Egypt, but as a last resort, there are many other warm countries where we can relax, but it’s really more difficult for them. For us it is not fatal. Although the tour was booked for April, if it doesn’t work out, I’ll rebook to the Canary Islands, it’s also good there, and not so expensive.

but I don’t feel sorry for Egypt, namely the Red Sea! I looked at the map ...... well, there are no countries where you can normally relax on the Red Sea ... only Israel .... but it's quite expensive, and also not very reliable in terms of security, Israel is also constantly on a powder keg ...
аватар elenako
Yes, I would also not want to lose the Red Sea, but you can go to other countries.
Tourism is one of the main incomes in the country, but not the main one after all. So it was "lived", and ordinary people will probably miss it.
аватар jabetta
There is also Sudan, Eritrea, Saudi Arabia, Yemen - countries, one better than the other. There is a pristine sea there.
аватар elenako
jabetta - for sure, one country is better than the other, each is in line for a revolution.
аватар jabetta
The Arabs generally have some kind of aggravation. "Someone" haunts this region.
аватар elenako
It seems to me that this is like a snowball - and the Arab countries are very susceptible to this, I think.
аватар sony63
The Arabs have long been "aggravated". One Al Qaeda is worth something! Their goal is to live like in the Middle Ages. Well, let them live as they want, and we will - as we want. How we rested and we will rest, only in other, normal countries. And the Red Sea is really a pity !!! But what can you do... Appeal: Exploring new countries!!!
аватар jabetta
And "Someone" competently "rolls" this lump.
аватар jabetta
"Summon: Explore new countries!!!"
For example, what? So that the sea is "live" and the prices are not "biting".
аватар Pachok
"Exploring new countries!!!"
We have been mastering it for so long! :)))) Not because of revolutions, but because everywhere is interesting!
аватар Pachok
In addition, forecasts that Egypt will die without tourism - a clear exaggeration. Tourism is a large, but not the main source of income for the Egyptian economy.
аватар elenako
Pachok----So that the sea is "live" and the prices are not "biting".----
Which for example?
There are corals in the Canary Islands, but there are also Schengen.
Cuba is far away.
There are no such corals in Thailand.
Maldives, Seychelles - bite.
Egypt was optimal, and not far, and for the money.
аватар jabetta
Absolutely agree with elenako!

-------------------------------------------------- --- although there is a pristine sea, I have not heard about the flow of tourists there! the reason is one-extremism-terrorism! Apart from Egypt, there is no country on the Red Sea where you can relax close and on a budget!
аватар Pachok
elenako, I didn't write about corals :) I wrote about "it's interesting everywhere".
And what, in the Canary Islands, is there really coral? Live a century - learn a century ... We are waiting for cheap tickets from Visa Air to Spain!
аватар elenako
Pachok,Here we write only about the alternative to Egypt.
Personally, I'm not interested in tours of countries (cities).
Yes, there are corals in the Canary Islands.
аватар jabetta
Lenna50: I meant this (extremism-terrorism) when I wrote "countries, one is better than the other".
Like it or not, there is no absolute alternative to Egypt for reef lovers, and this cannot be denied. Even the Caribbean is already inferior in coral to the Red Sea.
An excerpt from a scientific article:
“Practically all coral reefs in the Caribbean, according to experts from the Cousteau team, are dead. The son of the famous explorer Jacques-Yves Cousteau made a helicopter survey of the territory adjacent to the islands. 65-year-old Jean-Michel Cousteau is concerned about the death of coral reefs due to pollution and waste associated with the life of 3.8 million people in the Caribbean.Experts say that by now about 30% of coral reefs worldwide have died.If the trend does not change fundamentally, in 25-30 years already 60% of corals will be dead. "

What's the panic? Are we all going to die now without Egypt? And yes, he is already tired of it. Recently, I flew there more out of habit, but there was no particular pleasure. Egypt is good the first or second time, and then it gets boring. The exception is divers, I don’t argue here. So divers are few in the total mass of vacationers. I agree with the fact that the Egyptians will die without tourism. And we will fly to other countries!
аватар jabetta
"The exception is divers, I don't argue here"
I would add more freedivers and snorkelers. Maybe there are not many of them, but it is not yet clear what these few can do, with little material resources? This is not panic - this is the reasoning of a sane person.
Anecdote on the subject:

Answer: On the couch
аватар papa74
"And who will be worse?" -if Egypt and the locals don't care, then it WILL BE WORSE FOR US.
аватар papa74
Because of Egypt, even if no one was going there, prices for other resorts jumped up. Now you can’t find a burning one.
There was a balanced system of tourist services in the country, now everything is derailed.
Prices are going through the roof, people have nowhere to go, they will buy more expensive.
аватар jabetta
In the end, the tourist market will still "settle down", but it will not be clear how long it will take, and we, ordinary tourists, thirsting for the beauties of the Red Sea and not only, will suffer.
аватар Pachok
I don’t want to be known as an “ass”, mumbling the same thing :) but! I still repeat: the future belongs to independent tourism.
Now we see a picture when agencies and operators inflate prices for other directions in order to shift THEIR risks and losses in Egypt onto US! With what joy?
I was interested in elenako's message about corals in the Canary Islands, I'll count it :) I had thought of a combined route Spain + some of the Canary Islands before, there was not enough motivation. Now just right :)
Z.Y. Austrian Airlines now Barcelona cheap....
аватар babintseva176
papa74, with all due respect to you, I still do not understand: - why should I think about the local population of Egypt? To me they really - do not care! I am more worried about my people, where there are no less problems! As for the tourism market, such a holy place is never empty and soon everything will either calm down or there will be a replacement for Egypt. But I am sure that people have traveled the same way they will continue to travel. A 10-15% price increase doesn't really scare anyone. Soon everything will be fine.
аватар jabetta
"10-15% price increases don't really scare anyone"
You can’t forbid living beautifully, just don’t answer for everyone.
аватар hessen
We were in Gran Canaria and La Gomera, we didn’t see corals, of course, we didn’t swim at every meter, but we traveled around quite a lot of places and beaches. And even excursions to such places were not offered.
аватар HotLine
I don't like to argue with Pachok. She is very nervous when she is objected to. But it's hard to keep up.
Independent tourism does not exist. There are self-guided walking tours.
There are package tours and collected independently or with the help of intermediaries from elements - flights, transfers, accommodation, excursions. Booking sites, air ticket booking systems are also intermediaries. And the system works iron. The leaders of the European tourism market (TUI, Neckerman, Thomas Cook) have an annual turnover of more than 10 billion euros each.
Because no one goes to buy a washing machine for himself at the checkpoint of the manufacturer. Figuratively speaking.
And all risks, like all taxes, are paid by the consumer. Anytime and anywhere. No one has come up with another system yet. The CPSU tried, but it didn't work either.
And with Egypt everything will be fine. The people have already understood that it is possible to live differently.
аватар Pachok
hessen,
Today I was looking online for information about corals near the coast of the Canary Islands, I learned a lot of interesting things :))) But I still haven’t figured out if there is an opportunity for snorkeling. For divers, as I understand it, there are all conditions.
