Egypt's Red Sea 訴える手段/行楽地s have taken a big 攻撃する,衝突する financially since the country's 2011 反乱, but they still seem a world away from the budding 暴動 in the northern Sinai 半島, where 交戦的なs have killed 得点する/非難する/20s of 安全 軍隊s, and the ぐずぐず残る political 緊張s in Cairo and other cities, which still see 時折の demonstrations and small-規模 attacks.

"Everything is 安全な and good and we're all 調印(する)d off from everything," said Olga Hoffmann, who won the 裁判,公判 run. The actual 競争 will be held in Germany on Feb. 28.

Soma Bay is part of a string of 訴える手段/行楽地s 法案d as Egypt's "Red Sea Riviera," known for world-class 飛び込み and sandy beaches that are open year-一連の会議、交渉/完成する. The 訴える手段/行楽地s 嘘(をつく) across the Red Sea from Sinai, and have been spared the 暴力/激しさ gripping the northern part of the 半島 ― an area ひどく guarded by Egyptian 安全 軍隊s and 地元の tribes.

The demonstrations and 不安 have 徐々に 拒絶する/低下するd since then, and tourists have started to return. The 観光旅行,事業 省 says 9.9 million tourists (機の)カム to Egypt in 2014, a slight 増加する from the previous year, driven by a 47 パーセント 殺到する from Eastern Europe ― 顕著に 3.1 million ロシアのs.

Their spending capacity ha s also been 限られた/立憲的な by the 最近の, 激烈な 落ちる of the ルーブル.

The Egyptian 政府 is eager to 活力を回復させる the 観光旅行,事業 部門, and has 明かすd a 一連の new 対策, 含むing more 安全 cameras at hotels and popular tourist 目的地s, 義務的な background checks for 観光旅行,事業 労働者s, tougher airport 安全 and a system to 監視する hotel health 基準s.

As the 行方不明になる Germany contestants snorkeled over lush 珊瑚 a day after their 野外劇/豪華な行列, 組織者 Ralf Klemmer said that if he had any 恐れるs about 安全, they wouldn't be here.

"We've heard about some bad news どこかよそで, but here on the Red Sea it's 簡単に splendid," he said. "Besides, look at what happened in Paris, or Germany, where a Carnival parade was cancelled over 安全 関心s. Attacks nowadays can happen anywhere."
