4.2.1.4 Budget
These figures are rough estimates of budget required per action for the period 2018-2020 and ROI
Common charter for transport service improvement 50,000 € Less than a year
- Promoting new engines 300,000 € Not relevant*
- Active mobility development 2,000,000 € 2 to 3 years
- Traffic optimization through urban planning 2,000,000 € 2 to 3 years
- Public service and RTB To be defined
* Not relevant: such measure that could take the form of an incentive for people to switch their old car for a new one with less polluting
engines will have a direct benefit for car users and an indirect benefit for the City of Luxor (less pollution, less sites degradation, etc.)
which is difficult to assess without a far more in-depth analysis.
Tourism Sector
4.2.2.1 Current situation
The tourism sector in the City of Luxor is one of the foremost sectors that greatly need to be addressed as it
holds the third position in energy consumption with 842 GWh/year or 17%. It is also measured third in GHG
emissions with 240kteCO 2/year or 15%. Presently, there are 313 hotels in the city, with two types of
accommodation: 38 classical on land hotels; 275 floating hotels. With this calculation, there are 16,029 rooms
and an average occupancy rate of 14.35% (17.7% for normal hotels and 11% for floating hotels). This
occupancy rate is quite low and demonstrates the impact of the past years events on tourists’ frequentation.
Note that consumptions for this sector cover tourists’ accommodations and transport and all attractions
(energy consumption at antiquities and heritages sites, museums, etc.)
There are various ways of tourist transportation such as boats, cars, buses, etc. The number of tourist’s boats
in the city of Luxor is 253 boats, of which 112 only are still in operation in 2016. These boats consume 13,000
litres/journey/year. The number of small boats traveling between west and east banks in the city of Luxor is
60
