VOICED : Attacks keep millions away from famed Egypt tourist sites

Sayid Ramadan, a souvenir vendor in Egypt, faces a significant decline in business due to a sharp drop in tourism. The fall in tourist arrivals is attributed to political turmoil following the 2011 overthrow of Hosni Mubarak, the rise of the Islamic State, and a tragic Russian airliner crash. Tourists are now fearful due to regional instability, leading to deserted tourist sites like the pyramids. International bans on flights to Egypt by Russia and Britain further exacerbate the situation, threatening the survival of the Egyptian tourism sector. Vendors like Sayid struggle to make ends meet, resorting to persistent sales tactics in hopes of a business revival.
