| Abstract | ||||
| The problem of research is that there is a lack of accuracy and consistency of tourism statistics, which may negatively affect the prediction of tourism movement; especially in a crisis. Accordingly, this research paper is mainly aiming at highlighting the basics adopted by the official tourism authorities in preparing tourism statistics. In an attempt to achieve the aforementioned aim, a qualitative research methodology was adopted by employing two phases of data collection. In the first phase, data on the issue under investigation were collected from various secondary sources. In the second phase, rich qualitative data were gathered through distributing questionnaires to a sample of Egyptian tourist statistics experts from March to June 2019. The study ended up with a number of results and recommendations. | ||||
