    Once a monarchy now a republic, many years later the country has faced many conflicts and flounder times, most recent the revolution of 2011, which left the country in a broken state. With success and effort to rebuild, Egypt still faces some major economic challenges. These challenges range from: reestablishing security, bringing back business, reforming subsidies, and labor intensive industries and exports. Strengthening the country’s army and government is one of the most important challenges, but leading businessmen and attracting tourist, and billionaires to come back is another very difficult challenge. Reforming subsidies and ending government controlled industries, and exports are also issues that face current president, and the rest of the government. While broken, Egypt contributes to the world economy, by providing our raw resources, many previous innovations, and exports. Bouncing back from a revolution is tough, but Egypt can become beneficial to our businesses and labor force and way of life, by growing back into prosperous and tourist full country. It can also become a host for many big industries to boost its economy even more. If Egypt remains on the same track, they are bound to have a good economy, as we can see from changes like the real growth rate which doubled within 2014 to 2015.

  • Crime Targeted to Tourists in Egypt

    836 Words  | 2 Pages

    A great many U.S. tourists have bailed out on Egypt since 1997, when terrorists slaughtered 67 foreign visitors (none of them American) in two gory attacks. Since then, the government has tightened security considerably, but Egypt still ranks as a dangerous place. The State Department announced last month that ``extremist elements may be planning imminent unspecified attacks against U.S. interests in Egypt.'' Pinkerton Global Intelligence Services, one of the private companies entering the burgeoning travel-security field, rates Egypt as a ``high-risk'' country (map). Still, there's a payoff for those willing to run the risk: as a tourist venue, Egypt is uncrowded and cheap. ``Business is now about 70 percent of normal,'' says Karim Gharranah, a tour operator in Cairo, ``and prices are 40 percent less than they should be.''

There is consumer laws violence that continued for decades in the Egyptian system and it is really clear in the healthcare, education ,food and tourism sectors. Although there are regulations that should protect the consumer, there are still unethical and corrupted practices that take place in all the sectors that should provide the best service for the Egyptian consumer. The consumer rights to safety are vanishing that the consumer health is not protected by anything in the country. Also, the right of the consumer to high quality education is not available in the country. Moreover, the consumer has the right to be heard but no one hears the complaints of the consumer to get back on the right tack. The consumer has the right to a healthy environment but the environment is polluted and causes many health issues. The food and water are not healthy and can cause chronic diseases to the consumer. In the healthcare sector, the public healthcare system is against humanity and the consumer safety laws in Egypt that it has taken away the lives of many patients due to its miserable conditions. In the education sector, the government gave a blind eye to the education problems so it has been descending due to the unbearable public education conditions. In the food sector, the consumer safety laws are not put into consideration that the health of the consumer is in danger due to the unhealthy food and contaminated water. The last sector is the tourism sector which is lagging due to the lack of the government incentives and good strategic planning.
