Egypt's Tourism Minister Hisham Zaazou has said the Egyptian incoming tourism is able to face challenges and return to its normal levels before the 2011 revolution.

During his meeting with the German tourist media club in Berlin, Zaazou said Egypt had always fought many competitions and overcome several challenges.

He noted that the Egyptian destinations lured 14.7 million tourists by the end of 2010 with revenues of 12.5 billion US dollars.

Zaazou had arrived in Germany to take part in the International Tourism Bourse (ITB) Berlin.

Zaazou will review efforts exerted by the ministry to bypass challenges facing the tourism industry in Egypt.

He will continue efforts to cancel German warnings on traveling to Egypt.
