Abstract
Egypt has a charming nature, a moderate climate and diverse touristic regions. Egypt has touristic elements that are rarely found in any country in the world. Hotel workers' uniforms play a major role in hotel performance and in promoting tourism. The uniforms of Egyptian hotel workers do not express the Egyptian identity and heritage. The research problem lies in the fact that hotel uniform designs in Egypt are merely an imitation of Western designs and do not express Egypt's diverse heritage. A training study was implemented as part of the graduation project for students of the Ready-Made Garments Department, Faculty of Applied Arts, Damietta University. The aim is to design and implement a modern hotel uniform that is characterized by elegance and carries authentic heritage meanings to revive Egyptian heritage, deepen belonging to the homeland and activate Egyptian tourism in addition to serving the community. The project is inspired by five Egyptian tourist areas, which are "Nubia - Siwa - Giza - Sinai - Damietta and the Canal Cities".
The results showed that the Giza Group hotel uniforms are the best in terms of design quality, the Sinai Group uniforms are the best in terms of quality of connection to the source of inspiration and modernity, and the Siwa Oasis Group uniforms are the best in terms of quality of adjustment, comfort and suitability for functional performance. The results showed that the designed hotel uniforms are characterized by elegance and modernity, express Egyptian heritage and identity and help promote tourism.
