General Introduction
The Egyptian Center for Economic Studies (ECES)provided an analysis of the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on the various sectors of the Egyptian economy. The analysis was supported by multiple scenarios whose expectations varied with respect to the performance of these sectors according to the indicators and conditions prevailing at the time of their construction. To Complement this effort, ECES is currently monitoring the performance of the sectors following their exposure to Covid-19 pandemic, in light of the relevant official data recently published by the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS), the Central Bank, relevant ministries or any other concerned parties. The analysis assesses available data and monitors the situation on the ground through four main aspects. First: assessing published data and aspects of change on the ground; Second: the extent to which they are consistent with previous trends and expectations in the studies of ECES and others, and reasons for that; third, future expectations; and fourth, proposals to improve the performance of the sector whenever possible.
n this report, we follow up on the implications of the Covid-19 pandemic on the tourism sector on the ground. The World Tourism Organization has published tourism data for countries around the world, including Egypt. This report will rely on this published data to follow up on the impact of the pandemic on the tourism sector in the absence of recent data from official local sources.
