ABTA has said that Egypt holidays will become more popular among tourists next year
as they get "exceptionally good value for money" in the north African
country.
Although the number of tourists visiting Egypt declined soon after the
civil unrest earlier this year, the holiday market in the country is
recovering now, according to Sean Tipton, a spokesperson for the travel
industry group.
Mr Tipton said: "Egypt in particular [is] offering exceptionally good
value for money following the demonstrations earlier on this year, which
had a knock-on effect on business."
An increasing number of Britons are also taking tailor-made holidays in
South Africa, and the figure is set to increase in the coming months as
many people will be thinking of breaks to enjoy some winter sun,
according to Mr Tipton.
