Abstract

Water stewardship, water stress and availability have become increasingly important planning and development considerations for the tourism industry world-wide. Nowadays, Water issues are receiving significant attention from governments, the private sector, and civil society. Ever-increasing demand for water coupled with the effects of climate change, is escalating pressure on water resources in most parts of the world, including in many coastal and island tourism destinations. This paper discusses the aspects of international efforts to organize the relationship between tourism and water, concentrating on the expected role of Egyptian tourism industry in water management through discussing water resources, consumption in Egypt, especially with the challenges like the Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.
