Capacity in the Red Sea governorate stands at 69,000 hotel
rooms, 31% of Egypt's total hotel capacity of 225,000
Occupancy rate in Sahl Hasheesh remains higher than norms in
Egypt and other cities on the Red Sea coast.
• Government spending on infrastructure projects such as the USD
335 million expansion of Hurghada International Airport, as well
as investments made by forward-looking companies such as ERC
to build-up capacity and infrastructure in the area drive the
higher-than-norm occupancy rates on the Red Sea coast.
• Recently, the Egyptian government has bolstered security at
airports across the country to reinforce Egypt's image as a safe
place to visit, after the Russian plane crash in November 2015
took a severe toll on tourism figures that had gradually improved
over 2014 and 2015.
