Can you do any international marketing for Egypt, any new ideas?

i am not sure what you mean, but i visit Egypt regularly. Iove the antiquities, the hotels and the weather. In fact there is little i don't like about your country, However many people i know who have considered going to egypt are put off by their fear of terrorism and religious fanatics. Many English people are surprisingly conservative and worry about facing things which they feel are possibly slightly differerent or challenging. They need to feel safe and secure, they need to feel that their holiday is going to give them a wonderful experience and they don't want to include worry or anxiety in that holiday. Most people spend all year saving for that holiday, it is likely to be their only holiday abroad in the year and represent a large percentage of their disposable income. I am afraid that until the political situation is stable tourists will stay away, but when they come back you must make them feel safe and secure, and that also means protecting them from the never ending hassle of sales people. If there is any thing you think i can help with then please ask.
