Currency fluctuations have many British holidaymarkers there going to countires where the pound buy more. The USA, Turkey and Italy  are more attractive than Spain, France and Grece there business are going down.

Last year 8.2FF was the equivalent of one pound, now the pound is 7.8FF. So that means that the British travelers lose  30 on every  500 transaction. This also has been reflected in holidays bookings wich is down a 7% on 1994. Also happened in Spian business too. Bookings to the end of April show their share the UK market down 2%, from 44% to 42%.

In the USA and Turkey the pound has risen. Turkey has a consequence, nearly double its market share whick is now standing at 7%. However swings in favourable courrency rates mus balance against the cost of meals and services. 1 buys 60% more Turkish lira but then the cost meals and services has doubled.

EGYPT

Really known about tourism in Egypt since ‘’the dawn of time’’. In 1798 Napoleon Bonaparte made a campaign in the Orient to protect French trade interests. He began to get involved in the Egyptian culture.

In November of 1869 the biggest canal also known by the nickname ‘’Suez Canal’’ was opened by Thomas Cook, that is an artificial sea-level waterway in Egypt. This canal is connected by the Mediterranean Sea and the Red sea.

In 1950 Thomas Cook started his own company of international travels also called tour operators and hoteliers in place. The 5th of July began an excursion by train from Leiscester to Loughborough with so much success.

After thirteen years the Ministry of Tourism was opened in Egypt. The increase of tourist for year was of 1 million people, also it increase the number of carriers and hotels in this country. However, after two year the arrivals of tourist were from 3.6 million people.

In 1992 to 1994 the tourism began to decline, this was because the earthquake which happened in 1992 near Cairo the capital of Egypt. The government said that 370 people were killed and 3,300 people hurt.

By this time the visitors in Egypt are 43% from Arab world and 57% are from Europe & N. America. The principal attractions are the classical tours who are call ‘’Pyramids, Luxor and Aswan’’. The Nile Cruises are one of the most important cruises in the world.
