One million Chinese tourists are expected to visit Egypt by the end of next year, head of the Travelers Association Atef Abdel Latif stated to Al Shorouk newspaper on Sunday. Egypt is anticipating one million Chinese tourists by the end of 2018 on top of China 's effort to boost tourism to locations associated with ancient civilisations , said Atef El Latif , head of the Travelers Association . The influx of tourists from China , as well as countries including Japan and Korea , is expected to regenerate archaeological tourism in Aswan and Luxor , and go some way to offset the decrease in visitors from Britain , Russia and Italy . Latif called on Egyptian airlines to make provisions for routes to countries with high tourist demand to ensure visitors are n't lost to foreign flight services .
