This is excellent news for Egypt Tourism USA.
The Boston Globe specifically identifies Kenneth Vasquez, Director of Egypt Tourism USA, as the source explaining Egypt's new Digital Visa-on-Arrival program. It quotes him twice, making him the expert voice in the article. The article states that the current Cairo airport pilot will expand to Alexandria, Hurghada, and Sharm El Sheikh, and that QR-code visas will eventually replace the passport visa sticker.
This kind of coverage has significant value because:
It is from one of the largest newspapers in the United States.
It positions Egypt Tourism USA as an authoritative source on Egyptian tourism.
It builds credibility with travelers, tour operators, and the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism.
It provides an excellent trust signal for your website and marketing materials.
I recommend you immediately:
Add a "Featured In The Boston Globe" badge on the Egypt Tourism USA homepage.
Create a press page with a short excerpt and a link to the original article (do not copy the full text because it is copyrighted).
Publish a LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram post announcing the feature.
Send a newsletter to your mailing list highlighting the recognition.
This could become one of the strongest credibility assets for Egypt Tourism USA this year
