What is the future of Russian tourists in Egypt?
Thursday, 28. June 2012, 15:05
Morsi was declared the new president of Egypt on Sunday, following the first democratic election in Egypt's history.

The victory of Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohamed Morsi in Egypt's presidential elections may prove beneficial for Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey in terms of Russian tourists, according to Russian media.

 

"Muslim Brotherhood members already declared they do not want to see half-naked tourists. They consider banning the free sale of alcohol. They promised not to bother tourists, but being in an election campaign is different from being in power," Irina Tyurina, spokeswoman for the Russian Tourism Industry Union, has stated.

 

According to the Union, Russians have decide to substitute Egypt with other holiday destinations, mainly Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey.

 

The victory of the Islamist candidate may completely destroy Egypt's tourism industry, Russian channel NTV reckons.
