FOCUS ON EGYPT 2024

The MENALAC FOCUS ON EGYPT 2024 is a two-day celebration designed to shine a spotlight on one of the most exciting markets in the MENA region. With this event MENALAC will be making a foray into the North African market, opening doors to other countries in North Africa

 

Why Egypt?

Egypt is on the brink of a remarkable transformation in its leisure and entertainment landscape, driven by a series of groundbreaking government initiatives, reforms and incentives to enhance the investment climate and attract Foreign Direct Investment in tourism and leisure projects. The Egypt Vision 2030, Tourism Reform Program, Incentives for Investors, Development of Entertainment Zones and Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) are some of the Government initiatives in this direction

 

Steadily rising disposable income in Egypt, a growing middle class and a rise in tourism has created a growing demand for family-friendly entertainment in theme parks, water parks, and FECs (Family Entertainment Centers). There are significant opportunities in tourism, entertainment, and mixed-use projects. As the Egyptian government actively promotes the development of this sector, now is the perfect moment to explore the myriad of investment opportunities and partnerships available.

 

The MENALAC FOCUS ON EGYPT Event is a gateway to understanding and capitalizing on Egypt's growing leisure market.

We are delighted to create an opportunity for MENALAC Members and entertainment brands to gain first-hand information from the Egyptian Toursim Authorities on this ripening market to establish a strong presence with significant growth potential.
