'Egypt's participation in exhibitions important'

Egypt’s participation in the London Exhibition is very impressive, as 62 Egyptian companies, hotels and travel agents are participating, Minister Fakhri Abdel-Nour was quoted by the Middle East News Agency (MENA) as saying.

Abdel-Nour added that he has met with the prominent tour organisers who deal with Egypt and with many media figures from around the world, noting that these meetings focus on the importance of tourism in Egypt.

Abdel-Nour blamed Arab and world media for concentrating only on what happens in Tahrir Square.
