As part of a series of activities targeting travel trade professionals, the Red Sea leisure destination of El Gouna, is inviting travel agents and tour operators to spend up to a week at any of the eleven four and five star resorts participating in this programme.

In addition to this great accommodation offer, agents and operators, who are treated as VIP guests, receive additional offers such as a complimentary Lagoon Tour and a 50% discount on the use of hotel health clubs. The offer also entitles participants to take advantage of the unique dine around programme, which allows guests to sample cuisine at a variety of different hotel restaurants, regardless of where they are staying.

El Gouna is built on 10kms of beachfront and boasts award-winning architecture. Spread across a myriad of islands interlinked by beautiful lagoons, the destination offers a wide range of accommodation facilities, from comfortable guest houses to luxurious beachfront resorts. Only a short flight away from Europe’s capitals, El  Gouna is easily accessible due to its location just 22 km away from Hurghada International Airport. Once there, a wide variety of activities are available to guests, including an 18-hole USPGA golf course, some of the world’s best diving, snorkelling, fishing, horse riding, go-carting, professional kite surfing, tennis and squash, to  name a few. In addition, the resort is home to a variety of restaurants, bars, pubs, discotheques, shopping arcades, bazaars and an art village.
