<div class='uawarticle'>Economy of Egypt has been hit strongly by a decline in tourist numbers and investors in the wake of the popular revolution that forced Hosni Mubarak to step down 17 months ago in 11 Feb 2011.<br />
<br />
Reuters showed in a report that lots of tourism workers fear recovery would be slow if President Mohamed Mursi imposes Islamic strictures on things which are normal part of a beach holiday for many foreign tourists. The Brotherhood has not indicated it would do either.<br />
<br />
According to Reuters, minister Mounir Fakhry Abdel Nour said at a press conference in Cairo: Egypt received 5,242,652 tourists during the first six months of 2012, a 27 percent rise on the same period of 2011. He noted a significant rise in tourist arrivals specially from Germany, Russia and Poland.<br />
<br />
"I expect that the second half of the year will witness great recovery in tourism,"and he added , citing among other factors new initiatives by the ministry to boost ecotourism.<br />
<br />
"I expect that Egypt will be able to receive more than 12 million tourists by the end of the year," he told the conference.<br />
<br />
When he was asked whether he is afraid of the sector's recovery could be slowed down by strictures imposed by Mursi, Abdel Nour said he did not expect that any political leader would impose policies that could harm the country's vital tourism industry.<br />
<br />
Beside that "No political force, political party, president or government working in a democratic, responsible framework, and therefore accountable to public opinion ... could follow policies that harm Egyptian tourism".<br />
<br />
"Four million Egyptians work in tourism, while about 14 million and more are impacted by it indirectly," he added, saying Egypt had the potential to achieve, by 2017, tourism revenues of $25 billion, double the figure it earned in 2010, pre-uprising of 25th of Jan 2011.<br />
<br />
Tourism is one of Egypt's top foreign currency earners, constitutes 11 percent of gross domestic product.<br />
