Egypt won the gold award in the 25th edition of the British magazine Wanderlust Reader Travel Awards in the category of \u201cMost Desirable Cultural and Heritage Destination,\u201d ranking first ahead of several leading transnational tourist destinations, based on readers\u2019 votes.<\/p>\n

The Wanderlust Reader Travel Awards are among the travel industry\u2019s prominent honors, with winners selected through votes by the magazine\u2019s readers, reflecting travelers\u2019 preferences and actual experiences.<\/p>\n

CEO of the Egyptian Tourism Authority Ahmed Youssef received the award at a ceremony held at the historic Painted Hall of the Old Royal Naval College in London\u2019s Greenwich district, attended by around 500 senior travel and tourism industry leaders from around the world.<\/p>\n

In his keynote speech, Prince Harry Duke of Sussex and founder of the Travalyst initiative, stressed the importance of promoting responsible and sustainable tourism practices and cooperation among stakeholders to ensure a more sustainable future for the sector.<\/p>\n

On the occasion, Minister of Tourism Sherif Fathy welcomed the award, saying it reflected Egypt\u2019s distinguished position on the global tourism map and its unique cultural and heritage assets, which showcase the richness of ancient Egyptian civilization and its thousands of years of history, as well as its exceptional museums and archaeological sites.<\/p>\n

He said the award recognized Egypt\u2019s efforts to preserve its cultural heritage by maintaining museums and archaeological sites, ensuring their sustainability for future generations, improving services and enhancing the visitor experience.<\/p>\n

Fathy added that these efforts were part of the ministry\u2019s strategy to highlight Egypt\u2019s unparalleled tourism diversity and strengthen its position as an integrated destination offering distinctive experiences for visitors with varied interests, thereby boosting its competitiveness globally.<\/p>\n

For his part, Youssef said the award reflected Egypt\u2019s strong appeal among travelers interested in cultural and heritage tourism and its ability to offer rich experiences combining authenticity and diversity while meeting the preferences of visitors seeking meaningful cultural and historical experiences.<\/p>\n

He added that the award further strengthened the international recognition of Egypt\u2019s tourism sector, enhanced its presence in global markets and supported promotional efforts to attract more cultural and heritage tourists.<\/p>\n

It could also encourage previous visitors to return and explore the country\u2019s diverse tourism offerings.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
