Egypt: PM Says State Has Clear Plan to Boost Tourism Industry

Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouli said the State has a clear plan to boost the tourism industry, through strengthening integration between the sectors of tourism and aviation, especially as the country enjoys unique tourism and cultural potentials.
