OECD Tourism Trends and Policies 2010
The tourism sector, a vital driver of job-creation and growth, is under pressure. Facing an increasingly competitive landscape, tourism in many OECD countries has started to lag, in both growth rate and productivity. This book defines the major trends and challenges facing tourism in the next decade – from globalisation to environmental issues. To address these challenges, the book then provides specific policy guidance and recommendations for making tourism more competitive and environmentally sustainable. Tourism data from 42 countries are presented and analysed including all OECD countries, and fast-growing tourism centres such as Brazil, Chile, China and India.

The past five years witnessed a fundamental change in Egypt’s economic policies following the appointment of a reform-minded economic team in July 2004.

In line with the overall positive economic performance, the tourism sector has also regained the same momentum and realised outstanding achievements in terms of volume, value added and foreign revenues.
