The Egyptian Gazette Published in The Egyptian Gazette on 22 - 03 - 2018

CAIRO, March 22 (MENA) - Tourism Minister Rania el Mashat approved on Thursday recommendations submitted by the Higher Committee for Hajj and Omra to regulate the Hajj offered by tour operators for the 1439 AH pilgrimage season.
The tourism minister has assigned head of the travel agencies sector at the ministry Mohamed Shalaan to swiftly start implementing measures needed to receive applications from travel agencies willing to organise pilgrimage trips this year.
Mashat directed Shalaan to tighten control over the implementation of the Hajj programmes offered by tour operators and make sure that travel agencies are abiding by what have been agreed upon with pilgrims.
Mashat vowed to take firm action against any travel agency that will not abide by contractual obligations to citizens regarding the Hajj packages.
