Alexandria's initiative to support tourism

Alexandria's Institution for Cultural and Tourist Development offered an initiative to support and activate tourism. The proposal includes the distribution of a million pictures of Egypt's monuments and paintings, especially in Alexandria, to promote Egyptian tourism.

The institution launched the slogan ‘A million tourist cards’ for its initiative, in which artists and owners of rare photos will participate. The telecommunications, aviation and courier companies will execute the project.

The head of the initiative, Ahmed Esmat, clarified the idea was launched in May to prove security and stability in Egypt and to support tourism.

Esmat said professors of the Faculty of Fine Arts chose and collected a number of rare photos and paintings. He said the distribution process started in different embassies, foreign and Arab cultural centers and gift stores. Photos will also be distributed in Egyptian events abroad during cultural weeks and Egyptian artists' exhibitions.
