Abstract

This chapter examines the state of the Circular Economy (CE) in Egypt's tourism sector, revealing both challenges and opportunities. The chapter uses a multi-faceted approach, combining secondary data analysis with a literature review. It systematically reviews and synthesises existing data from government reports, industry statistics, and prior research studies. It analyses barriers, demographic influences, and organisational dynamics and explores how technology can aid in overcoming these challenges. The chapter also draws on best practices from successful transitions elsewhere. Findings highlight the need for robust policies, targeted educational campaigns, and technological adoption. Effective CE transition in Egypt will require structured approaches, international collaboration, and tailored practices, such as adapting strategies to the Red Sea and promoting agritourism in the Nile Delta. This chapter is novel for its detailed analysis of CE adoption in Egypt's tourism sector, offering strategic pathways for advancing circularity.
