Because Egypt's tourism industry has seen better days (and that's an understatement...) a few friends and I wanted to spread the word about, essentially, what makes this country awesome.
So we started by tweeting/writing about the trips we took locally, with the hashtag #Come2Egypt. And posting photos, cracking jokes, reminiscing, talking about friends and places and moments and why the heck we love this country!
Today - starting 4 pm Cairo time, actually, so in a little while - we'll be tweeting rather massively.
And we want YOU to join us!
It's not about twitter-trending the topic (though it would be nice, but that's far from being the purpose) but the idea is to make enough of a buzz for people to notice!
So, there! Write about why you like Egypt, why you think people should come, write a little post, post plenty of photos, and mostly tweet - using #Come2Egypt! be serious, be funny, be goofy - as long as you write write write!
This isn't a one-off thing - but we're trying to make it a staple of the twittersphere.
So? Are you in? ;)
* For background about whether it's actually a good idea to #Come2Egypt (don't take our word for it...) see this Wall Street Journal article: "Egypt Now? Yes, and Bring the Kids"
