NEW YORK (JTA) —
Since the opening of the
Israel-Egypt border in
January 1980 about
100,000 tourists have
traveled between the two
countries, it was announced
by the Israel Ministry of
Tourism.
At a recent Cairo con-
clave, tourism officials of
each country signed an
agreement designed to
speed the process of further
normalization in the field of
tourism, unifying a region
whose historic, cultural and
religious attractions are
unmatched anywhere in the
world.
The date for the agree-
ment's implementation is
April 1982, in the wake of
the return to Egypt of the
remaining Israel held sector
of the Sinai Peninsula.
At present, the Tourism
Ministry said eight flights
operate weekly in each
direction between Tel
Aviv and Cairo: by El Al
Israel Airlines and
Egypt's Neferititi Avia-
tion. A large proportion
of passengers on these
flights is American vac-
ationers.
In addition, tourists
travel overland on the Sinai
highway between the two
countries, crossing the bor-
der at the Neot Sinai termi-
nal.
There will be additional
bus service from Tel Aviv to
Cairo, also from Eilat to
Sharm-el-Sheikh, as well as
air service by both Israel
and Egyptian airlines from
Tel Aviv and Eilat to Mt.
Sinai Airport, and to Ras
Nasrani on the Red Sea
Coast.
The new possibilities for
combining Israel-Egypt va-
cations will be endless —
and Israel and Egypt will
conduct joint promotional
activities, such as seminars
for travel agents, joint pub-
licity compaigns and
familiarization tours.
Israel and Egypt will
have opened government
tourist offices in their re-
spective countries — the
Israelis in Cairo, the
Egyptians in Tel Aviv —
by the end of April 1982.
Agreement was also
reached on transit ar-
rangements for charter
passengers on wide-bodied
aircraft from Eurcipe, de-
stined for the Israel resort of
Eilat, arriving at Etzion/
Ras El Nagb Airport.
Travelers will receive
Egyptian transit cards and
then continue by road to
Eilat Airport for Israel im-
migration formalities.
The Tourism Ministry
also reported that addi-
tionally, land traffic will be
open for various types of ve-
hicles along the MediterrP
nean coastal road.
This will make the var-
ious tourist centers in
Sinai accessible.
Egypt will acquire the
tourist facilities built since
1967 by Israel along the
coast, and continue to oper-
ate them.
Another step in the nor-
malization process is the
opening up of the two new
consulates, an Egyptian one
in Eilat and an Israel consu-
late at Sharm-el-Sheikh.
