"All the guests are leaving, but no one comes."
An Egyptian Tourism Ministry spokeswoman said it was too early to tell how hard the attacks would affect Egypt's $6.6 billion tourism industry, which employs more than 1 million.
At least 1,000 people, mostly hotel workers in uniform, chefs and street sweepers gathered near one of the hotels hit in the attacks.
Chanting "There is no God but God, terrorism is the enemy of God," they marched through the resort's main road, carrying banners that read: "We are against terrorism."
This is a brave response considering that Important Men in the Name of Allah could issue death fatwas against Believers who show hospitality to Infidels.
