Red Sea investors issue note to tourism minister opposing Read Sea ports coal expansion

Red Sea investors issue note to tourism minister opposing Read Sea ports coal expansion
The Tourism Investors Association (TIA) in the Red Sea and Ain Sokhna will issue a note to the Tourism Ministry regarding damage from the import of coal. The Ministry of Transportation has been using ports along the Red Sea coast to receive imported coal. On Monday, the ministry chose Safaga and Al-Adabiya Ports close to Ain Sokhna, where there are many tourist resorts, according to the official. (Source: Daily News Egypt)

We strongly condemn such expansion as it will seriously affect the marine biology in the Red Sea which is the back bone of the local economy's tourism, and urge government officials to consider the environment before issuing any such a decision, which we shall take every legal step to challenge before supervising authorities and competent courts.
