Egypt hosts international conference on tourism and national security

The Egyptian Society for Friendship between Peoples, led by Major General Dr. Tarek Ammar, organized the Egypt International Conference on Tourism and National Security. Held in conjunction with World Tourism Day, the event focused on the intersection of Egypt’s cultural heritage, international tourism maps, and their impact on national security.

The conference brought together a diverse group of experts, former officials, and specialists in fields such as investment, management, heritage, and religion. Participants discussed how to transform Egypt’s historical and natural assets into soft power and a sustainable source of foreign currency.

Discussions emphasized that tourism security has evolved beyond the protection of archaeological sites to include a comprehensive system involving tourist safety, service quality, investment stability, and the protection of heritage. Speakers also highlighted the role of technology and media in promoting Egypt as a global destination.
