Impact of Egypt's Revolution on Tourism
As the 2011 uprisings took place, the national industry of tourism declined. Visitor numbers decresed by some 37% in 2011. The number of visitors was 9 million in 2011 while it was  over 14 million in 2010. This has had an influence on all other areas which ranges from travel accommodation to car rental, air transportation, health and wellness and tourist attractions, with value growth rates across the board declining to double digit territory. Tourism operators introduced heavy discounts in order to drain tourists back and prices remained low at the beginning of 2012.
