He noted that the crisis of tourism and travel offices has greatly exacerbated and continues to worsen with the passage of time.
The closure of about 200 travel and tourism offices led to a decrease in losses in this sector, and that about 90 percent of office workers were laid off because of the inability to pay their salaries in light of the insufficient operating income, as most offices now employ only one worker to check the accounts and all related matters, he added.
