The meeting comes after realising that Educational tourism continues to enable students to study abroad, learn about foreign cultures, acquire new languages, and have invaluable life experiences. The benefits of such educational endeavours are endless. This is why the Mission in its effort to connect with higher learning institutions as hubs for educational tourism engaged the British University in Egypt in order to discuss issues of common interest.
