Wg zestawienia 140 krajow World Economic Forum Travel & Tourism, Egipt znalazl sie na jednej z ostatnich pozycji pod wzgledem bezpieczenstwa, zaraz za Pakistanem, Czadem i Jemenem.
Od wczoraj takze, ze wzgledu na strajk policji i odmowe wykonywania obowiazkow, egipski minister spraw wewnetrznych nakazal wszystkim obywatelom Egiptu pilonowania porzadku we wlasnym zakresie i dal mozliwosc dokonoywania aresztowan na wlasna reke, przez kazdego Egipcjanina.
Jak powiedzial Ehab Moussa, przewodniczacy Koalicji Wspierajacej Turystyke (CST), taki krok doprowadzi do sytuacji gdy kazdy sklepikarz bedzie mogl aresztowac turyste, ktory nie bedzie chcial kupic pamiatki, zarzucajac mu cokolwiek, np. szpiegowanie.
Wiem, ze brzmi to kuriozalnie, ale sami przeczytajcie.
Enactment of citizens arrest deals blow to Egyptian tourism
Egypt's prosecutor-general empowers citizens to make arrests, but a tourism coalition warns this will leave tourists vulnerable
Ahram Online, Dalia Farouk, Monday 11 Mar 2013
Egypt's Coalition to Support Tourism (CST) condemns the prosecutor-general's decision to allow citizens' arrests announced on Sunday, arguing it raises many worries among tourists.
Many tourism agents called the head of the CST, Ehab Moussa in alarm. He told Ahram Online that they wanted to confirm the rumour over what they feel is a strange decision.
The "judiciary policing" (the direct translation for the criminal law) will allow any citizen to arrest someone committing a crime.
Moussa claims that tourists would then be mistreated and blackmailed in Egypt.
"If a tourist rebuffed an Egyptian merchant, refusing to buy something, the merchant might accuse the tourist of spying and arrest him," he said.
Several political powers criticised the decision, expecting that it could lead to a civil war in Egypt if citizens are given the right to arrest each other.
Only Islamist political powers, represented by the Freedom and Justice Party and Al-Gamaa Al-Islamiya, welcomed the decision as an attempt to curb the security deterioration in the country.
Egypt has fallen to the lowest rank out of 140 countries in terms of safety and security, just behind Pakistan, Chad and Yemen, in the World Economic Forum (WEF)'s Travel and Tourism (T&T) competitiveness index released last week.

I jeszcze taki ciekawy komantarz, do tego artykulu, ktory mozna znalezc na samym dole...
Stupid Decision...
So if there is a tout hassling me to buy a junk souvenir and he places the item in the hands of one of my kids, he can claim my kids stole the item, then blackmail me with arrest if I don't pay the 500LE price? This is not going to turn out well for tourists. I won't visit Egypt again until this is overturned. Way too many touts out there to arrest you for stupid things so they can steal from you. Egypt is no longer a tourist friendly destination.
