Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper discusses the role of King Fuad I (r. 1917–1936) role in promoting tourism in Egypt during his reign. Fuad felt that Egypt’s unique geography and history made it an ideal tourist destination even before he ascended to the throne. He promoted tourism in Egypt during his reign by establishing national tourism associations, hosting international conferences, and taking foreign dignitaries on trips to Egypt’s most famous archaeological sites. This paper also discusses and reflects upon Fuad’s organisation of an international competition to promote tourism in Egypt, which is understudied in the literature despite its importance for the history and development of Egyptian tourism. This paper contributes to the literature by examining previously unpublished archival sources and setting a timeline for the Egyptian state’s deep interest in promoting the country as a tourist attraction.

弗阿德一世统治时期埃及旅游业的发展

本文讨论了国王福阿德一世(1917-1936)在其统治期间在促进埃及旅游业方面的作用。富阿德觉得埃及独特的地理和历史使其成为一个理想的旅游目的地，甚至在他登上王位之前。在他统治期间，他通过建立国家旅游协会，举办国际会议，并带领外国政要参观埃及最著名的考古遗址，促进了埃及的旅游业。本文还讨论和反思了Fuad组织的国际竞争，以促进埃及的旅游业，尽管它对埃及旅游业的历史和发展很重要，但在文献中研究不足。本文通过研究以前未发表的档案来源，并为埃及国家在促进该国成为旅游景点方面的浓厚兴趣设定了时间表，从而为文献做出了贡献。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Tourism History is the primary venue for peer-reviewed scholarship covering all aspects of the evolution of tourism from earliest times to the postwar world. Articles address all regions of the globe and often adopt interdisciplinary approaches for exploring the past. The Journal of Tourism History is particularly (though not exclusively) interested in promoting the study of areas and subjects underrepresented in current scholarship, work for example examining the history of tourism in Asia and Africa, as well as developments that took place before the nineteenth century. In addition to peer-reviewed articles, Journal of Tourism History also features short articles about particularly useful archival collections, book reviews, review essays, and round table discussions that explore developing areas of tourism scholarship. The Editorial Board hopes that these additions will prompt further exploration of issues such as the vectors along which tourism spread, the evolution of specific types of ‘niche’ tourism, and the intersections of tourism history with the environment, medicine, politics, and more.
