CAIRO: The recently launched direct flights between Montreal and Cairo will help the Egyptian tourism sector and boost foreign investments, said Ghada Shalaby, Egypt’s deputy minister of tourism and antiquities.
She said this during a ceremony organized to welcome Air Canada’s first direct flight from Montreal to Cairo.
Three direct flights will be operated weekly between the two countries.
The Middle East News Agency quoted the deputy minister as saying that Egypt had taken all measures to check the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and her ministry was closely monitoring the vaccination of all those working in the country’s tourism sector.
The deputy minister said these flights would help increase the number of tourists to Egypt.
