How travel is sold in Egypt
The funnel lives on Facebook
Egyptian agencies sell where their clients scroll: package posts, seasonal offers and group departure announcements on Facebook, each drawing a flood of comments and messages. The flood is the asset and the problem at once — somewhere in it are the families who will actually travel, and they are indistinguishable from the crowd without a system that captures, scores and queues every enquiry the moment it arrives.
Trust is built in stages, and so is payment
Packages are routinely paid in instalments, groups are organised through extended families and workplaces, and the agency's reputation travels by word of mouth. That structure rewards patient, reliable follow-through: the agency that reminds gently, documents thoroughly and never loses a payment record wins the next family reunion trip and the cousin's honeymoon too.
Inbound is its own business
Agencies handling inbound programmes — Red Sea resorts, Nile cruises, Cairo and Luxor circuits — sell to foreign clients and partner operators in dollars and euros, on longer lead times and with stricter documentation. Running inbound and domestic in one undifferentiated list muddles pricing, follow-up rhythm and reporting; they deserve separate pipelines under one roof, which is exactly how HelloGrowthCRM arranges them.
