Egypt's diving and watersports industry unveils new tour notification app
As part of Egypt's digital transformation strategy, the Diving and Watersports Organisation (CDWS) and the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism unveiled the official version of the Trip Notification Application in July 2023.
The application enables safari, diving and water sports operators to easily complete the required registration for conducting diving and water sports activities in the Red Sea, and to obtain permits for the relevant tours. This can be done online in quick and easy steps, in accordance with the requirements of the relevant authorities.
The app also provides information and statistics, including data on excursions and activities, the nationalities and age groups of tourists and divers, and the most visited dive sites. This data can be used to support decision-making towards achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030.
By analysing the newly provided data and information, CDWS will support and develop new activities for the diving and water sports industry in Egypt. These include raising safety standards for the services offered by operators, controlling and combating illegal businesses, providing training and creating new jobs.
The application will also help to obtain important information that will have a direct impact on the protection and conservation of the marine environment in the Red Sea. This data will hopefully help achieve sustainable tourism in Egypt.
The Trip Notification Application is an attempt to support significant progress for the diving and watersports industry in Egypt. The CDWS, through its services to the industry, aims to support all companies in the associated industries in Egypt to make the country a leading tourist destination.
