Abstract

This study aims at examining the impact of January 25th revolution on the image of Egypt as a tourist destination. It further seeks for suggesting a managerial framework for dealing with such types of political crisis. Eight in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with key personnel from the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism, particularly from the Egyptian Tourist Authority (ETA). Six major findings were elaborated out of these prolonged interviews. Among these findings are the media coverage has a direct negative impact on the image of Egypt; absence of a specialized department for crisis management in the ETA; absence of team work culture  and immigration of the trained personnel from the Egyptian Tourism Private sector. Out of these key findings, the research has elicited some recommendations that can propose a managerial framework for dealing with crisis of political nature.
