Sharm el-Sheikh International Airport received Tuesday the first flight powered by Alexandria Airlines, coming from Ahmedabad Airport in India, with 367 passengers on board, for the purpose of holding a wedding ceremony in the Red Sea resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh.
Wedding Tourism is a travel concept where a couple, and typically their guests, travel to a foreign country to get married.
The Egyptian Company for Airports and Air Navigation announced in a statement that this event is a promising beginning to attract a new type of tourism in Egypt, which is the revitalisation of wedding-based tourism.
This type of tourism is famous in both Turkey and Dubai because of its economic returns, as the size of the wedding market in the Middle East reaches 4.5 billion dollars annually.
Sharm El-Sheikh Airport received the plane with a tradition of water spraying, and the airport’s public relations team greeted the passengers with flowers and souvenirs. The airport staff helped them complete the arrival procedures, amid artistic performances that were highly appreciated by the Indian passengers, wishing them to spend enjoyable time in Sharm el-Sheikh.
