Despite the high costs of organizing such a big event, he said, the economic return and investments are much greater, as about 1 million people are expected to visit Egypt during the tournament.
"Egypt will also gain billions of U.S. dollars out of the rights of live broadcasts, advertisement and sponsors," he added.
For his part, tourism expert Walid Al-Batouti said organizing the AFCON will have a positive impact on the Egyptian tourism in general, and will be a great opportunity to boost the number of African tourists to the country.
He explained that the event will highlight Egypt and its heritage, civilization and tourist attractions in various international media, and tell the world that Egypt is stable.
"Certainly the tournament will increase the occupancy rate in hotels and tourist places in the provinces that will host the games ... Tourism companies will prepare entertainment programs for the fans with special spectators, which will encourage the fans to visit our country," he said.
