Acting as a catalyst for transformative strategies, the event will shed light on one of the nation’s most dynamic engines of sustainable growth.
Discussions will spotlight the growing integration of Egypt’s real estate and tourism sectors as a cornerstone of the country’s future growth model. This integration reflects a strategic shift driven by the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, the Ministry of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities, and the Ministry of Investment and Foreign Trade, working together under Egypt’s Vision 2030. The approach is redefining how destinations are planned, branded, and financed, while positioning real estate not only as an enabler but also as a key beneficiary of tourism-led development.
Central to these discussions is the understanding that real estate extends far beyond mere construction, it embodies the creation of sustainable lifestyle destinations, iconic cultural landmarks, and global tourism hubs, From the Giza Plateau and Historic Cairo to New Alamein, Sinai, Luxor, and Fayoum, investment in real estate is serving as the backbone of Egypt’s competitiveness, boosting foreign direct investment and reinforcing investor confidence. The roundtable will provide a platform to showcase how heritage revitalization and modern hospitality projects can create destinations that seamlessly blend culture, commerce, and community.
Participants will also explore how coordinated public–private efforts can accelerate implementation, unlocking new opportunities across heritage zones, resorts, and new urban centers. With a focus on branded residences, lifestyle communities, and hospitality-driven projects, the discussions will highlight how hotels, mixed-use developments, and innovative investment models can act as powerful growth engines. By connecting global capital flows with Egypt’s rich cultural assets, the roundtable aims to reinforce Egypt’s position as a premier gateway for tourism and investment in the region.
The roundtable will be divided into two sessions which will be moderated by Mr. Moataz Sedky, General Manager of Travco Holidays Egypt and to ensure a cohesive dialogue that bridges policy perspectives with practical industry insights, the discussions will begin with the first session, entitled “Egypt’s Real Estate & Tourism Roadmap: Policies, Strategies, and Incentives,” which will focus on four key dimensions: aligning the integration of Egypt’s real estate and tourism sectors with Vision 2030; promoting public–private collaboration to drive sustainable growth; leveraging heritage, hospitality, and urban development as fundamental economic catalysts; and exploring investment opportunities and government incentives aimed at attracting both domestic and international investors.
