The 2011 Egyptian revolution that included attacks on foreign journalists such as British Journalist Natasha Smith and South African Lara Logan in Cairo’s Tahrir Midan (Liberation Square), along with the series of 2012-13 Egyptian protests, have negatively affected tourism. The new regime has worked hard to create stability and the Red Sea Resorts in particular have had increasing tourist numbers. During the Egyptian Revolution of 2011, the number of visitors plummeted by over 37% that year falling from 14 million in 2010 to just 9 million by the end of 2011. This has of course has impacted a diverse range of businesses directly or indirectly dependent on tourism, from travel accommodation and tourist attractions to car rental and air transportation, as well as health and wellness industries. Tour operators offering heavy discounts to encourage tourists back have been somewhat successful at the Red Sea resorts where prices remain lower compared to 2011. In the first half of 2014 the number of tourists further declined by 25% as compared with the same period of 2013, while revenues shrank by 25% as well. In 2013, Egypt ranked 85th as the world's best country in terms of tourism and traveling, falling ten places from its ranking of 75 in 2011. However it regained some ground this year being rated 83rd overall. In the Table below there is information about tourism in Egypt from 2010 to 2015.
