Inflation fell steadily to below 10% in 1997 from 12.5% in 1994. Syria is keen to increase foreign investment and promote its archaeological history and scenic beauty, with tourism income increasing to $1,478 million in 1996 from just $320 million in 1990.

Egypt
Article Abstract:
Tourism in Egypt experienced a strong year in 1995, with foreign arrivals reaching 3.1 million, up over 21% from previously. International receipts rose by 29% to $1.8 billion. The healthy growth has been attributed to government support for the industry, with incentives including promotional activities and funding. It is expected that revenue from tourism will continue to be a major source of income, but a downgrading of the market is possible unless environmental problems are solved.
