| Family Business is an enterprise owned and operated by members of a small family. It is very common in rural areas due to traditional land owning patterns. It depends also on Nature Tourism and Echo Tourism. Family Business is based on craft industry and it can be influenced by seasonality in tourism demand. This paper argues that the existence of family business in Egypt is possible because Egypt is well Known for its suitable areas that fit in this kind of business and there are a lot of cafés, restaurant and small hotels that are owned and operated by small families The study presents the interviews of officials in the public sector, some of them are optimists and others are pessimists due to some difficulties concerning our culture. The study provides recommendations that make family business one of the most important business in Egypt. | ||||
