Egypt's Minister of Tourism minister Hisham Zaazou hopes to fully revive one of the country's most vital industries by next April.
However, persuading the world that it is safe to visit the ancient pyramids or Red Sea resorts after three years of upheaval is a daunting task.
Zaazou is inviting foreign officials to visit and assess Egypt's stability for themselves and boosting security at airports and hotels, according to Arab News.
The Minister’s campaign is highly vulnerable to travel warnings issued by Western states who were the source of most tourists before a slump in business hammered the economy.
Zaazou said: "Once you don't have the perception that your security and safety is guaranteed these countries will put out a negative travel advice. And that's closing the door for the client," said in an interview for the Reuters Middle East Investment Summit.
"I went around to the source markets and asked these governments, particularly at the ministries of foreign affairs, to send technical delegations to Egypt to check our measures in that respect and write us a report," the minister said.
