CAIRO – 22 April 2021: Egypt’s Minister of Tourism & Antiquities Khaled el-Enany received, Maged Fawzi, former Chairman of the Egyptian Hotel Association Board of Directors, and Alaa Akil, Chairman of the steering Committee, after the issuance of a decree to form a steering committee to run the Egyptian Hotel Association, headed by Akil and the membership of Hisham el-Shaer, Muhammad Ayoub, Haitham Nassar and Abdul-Hamid Abu Yusef.
