Abstract
This chapter looks at how although Egypt's tourism has experienced significant growth over the past fifteen years, such an outstanding performance did not prevent doubts about the sector's effectiveness, potentials, and future prospects. To test tourism potentials, it applies a panel data econometric technique that estimates tourism demand and foregone opportunities. The findings pinpoint considerable foregone opportunities in terms of unsatisfied potential demand.
