    history of what?
  •  
    The Red Sea of Egypt has undergone rapid tourism development over the past 20 years. This development occurred with many gaps in legislation and implementation issues that have not been fully attended to. Among these is environmental policy. Legislators have been slow to respond to environmental concerns and the legislation that exists has been poorly implemented. Accordingly, the status of environmental regulation in Egyptian tourism development will be evaluated through exploring the following research questions: 1. What is the Egyptian government's environmental policy? 2. What are the greatest constraints facing successful implementation of environmental policies? 3. How has privatization of the tourism industry influenced the implementation of environmental policies? 4. What is the role of the private sector in environmental sustainability in tourism? In exploring these issues, this study is intended to assess the effectiveness of environmental policy in Red Sea tourism in Egypt and, thus, to contribute to the sustainable development of the region at large. The focus of this study is on the barriers to the implementation of environmental policy along the Egyptian Red Sea coast.

    Egypt wanted to develop the Red Sea Coast, which was considered as uninhabited area of the country before. this region had a very few activities and was one of the least populated regions of Egypt. these activities include offshore oil exploration, phosphate mining, and fishing on a limited scale. starting from the early 1990s, the red sea has been targeted for the massive tourism development in Egypt. In 2000, existing number of rooms was 10,549, representing 22.2 % of the total accommodation capacity in Egypt. however, the target foe 2012 was to achieve 140,000 rooms, and this is mainly by constructing new resorts and expanding the existing ones. in addition, since diving and snorkeling are among the favorable tourism activities in the Red Sea, most of the resorts aim at constructing jetties and marinas.

    There are also some problems that might cause threats to the patterns of tourism development in the Red Sea region. Economically, since it is expected that the destination does not include almost all of the average 20%of the travelling costs, and includes only about 7-9 %of the air-fare costs in the form of landing fees, fuel costs, servicing arrangements, and other functions carried out of the destination.
