Travel landscape: Strong performance amid relative calm
Performance in the Middle East and Africa has uctuated greatly due to unrest in many countries. 2017 is expected to be a good year across the board.
Most noteworthy, it is expected that Egypt will register growth in 2017, after a strong decline in 2016 due to the October 2015 bombing involving a Russian plane, which stopped tourism to Egypt in its tracks.
