4. Unique ecotourism selling point
5. Tourism infrastructure (hotels, lodges, roads, airport,

12. Key issues /Problems
1. Local people marginalized from tourism sector
2. The mainstream business is mass tourism
3. The Park is singly managed by government with very little
consultation/involvement of local people or key stakeholders
4. No organized ecotourism business in place just random tours
and activities
5. Only few companies build their marketing plans on the Park
6. No/minor direct returns for the Park or local people
7. Park and ecotourism underfinanced and in some cases funds
being misused
13. Challenges
• No system/models in place for cooperation between government (the
Park), local people and private sector
• Current governmental institutional frameworks do not allow for
official co-management or benefit sharing
• Concessions system at Egypt’s National Parks System needs reform to
be able to attract and manage qualified concessionaires
• Large tour operators prefer to sell (cheaper) large scale tourism
packages rather than ecotourism
• Most players in the sector don’t use local people
• Lack of trust, capacities, willingness to co-operate, legal frameworks
14. • Communications/consultations with potential partners/field visits
• Assistance from international sustainable tourism expert (Barabara Fritz) who
helped in preparing a proposal for a 2-years PPP project to develop ecotourism in
the park.
• Funds became available for the project, Euro 500,000 (2014-2016)
