Ecotourism and Environmental Initiatives: Egypt's Path to a Green Future

 Ecotourism is the future of declaring Egyptian cities environmentally friendly cities. It started with Sharm El-Sheikh Excursions, then Kharga was declared a green city, and soon Hurghada day tours. The project to integrate biodiversity with tourism in Egypt created a new environmental tourism product.

Green Egypt, a word with vast details, carries within it environmentally friendly environmental and industrial projects as part of Egypt’s 2030 strategy to achieve sustainable development goals and transform environmental challenges into investment opportunities. The Egyptian state has taken an upward curve in the direction of ecotourism, as it is the future for what it enjoys. Egypt has natural features and biological diversity that are unmatched by any other country. These developments have contributed to the overall appeal and quality of Egypt tours, Egypt tour packages, and Egypt day tours.

Egypt's green experience began many years ago, specifically when Egypt hosted the Biodiversity Summit in 2018. During the conference, the President announced the necessity of integrating diversity between three important environmental issues, none of which can be discussed in isolation from the other, which are the issues of desertification, biological diversity, and climate change, and the idea of a President speaking For the first time, the environmental file was presented and supported, giving the file strength and distinction that did not exist previously, and this was the main password in the development of the environment file.

The announcement of green cities in the governorates was based on Egypt’s stock of natural reserves, which amounted to about 30 reserves. The Ministry of Environment decided to develop 11 of them, starting with Mount Sinai and St. Catherine's Monastery Tour from Sharm El Sheikh, or the Green Sharm Initiative, to transform everything in the city into an environmentally friendly one. The first green city, and currently, the Ministry of Environment is preparing to launch the Green Hurghada project and develop four natural reserves in the Red Sea Attractions.

The project to integrate biodiversity with natural reserves is one of the methods that provided broader opportunities for the scope of environmental swimming, especially through the project supported by UNIDO, which aims to preserve biodiversity and link it to the tourism sector in Egypt and the future visions of the Ministry for preserving natural resources.

In this context, the Minister of the Environment confirmed that the project to integrate biodiversity into tourism in Egypt is one of the most difficult projects that the Ministry has worked on, starting from its preparation, due to the complexity of formulating the project concepts as well as the limitations of biodiversity experts at the Arab level, in addition to the challenge of raising issues.
