Each bus is uniquely exhibiting two tourist themes of India. The campaign will run on five routes in East, Middle, North, South and Giza parts of Cairo Metropolitan area.
“We invite more and more Egyptian tourists to visit India, even as we support the growth in Indian tourists to Egypt.
“India has variety of experiences ranging from historical sites to natural beauty, beaches to mountains, adventure to cultural events, yoga to medical tourism, wedding destinations to Bollywood tours, and many more,” Bhattacharyya said while inaugurated the event at Cairo citadel.
This campaign also aims to connect tour operators of both the countries.
“We have launched this campaign so that people around the city can see different part of India and its tourist’s delight. We are very keen to have greater tourism exchanges between India and Egypt,” Bhattacharyya told PTI.
