CAIRO — In an unprecedented move, Egypt’s General Authority for Health Care recently announced the use of metaverse technology to promote medical tourism, offering customers all over the world a unique experience to visit health facilities, revitalizing tourism and supporting the national economy.
Egypt’s tourism sector, which is one of the main sources of national income, was hit hard by Russia's war on Ukraine and before it the repercussions of the coronavirus pandemic, which pushed the Egyptian government to seek solutions and alternatives to stimulate and support tourism to compensate for the losses it incurred in the past years.
