Tourism in Egypt

Tourism in Egypt has been on a sharp decline since the Egyptian Revolution for fears that people would be stuck there if the government would be protested against. The Tourism industry accounts for at least 20% of the GDP of Egypt, and there are many towns that are reliant on the flow of tourists' alone, The flow of the tourists has dropped so dramatically that many of these towns have had to close there doors because there was so no flow of money coming in from tourism to support everybody's daily needs. The government of Egypt has tried to help these towns by giving them aid packages with food and water so that they could get by until tourism rates were to go back to normal.
