This overview was done through SWOT analysis depending on actual situations as well as empirical investigation with experts, decision makers in this field and number of foreign investors in order to evaluate their satisfaction with the FDI policies adopted in Egypt. The study concludes with appropriate suggestions on the policy implication for the purpose of attracting more FDI to the tourism sector. | ||||
