Abstract

The study aims to examine the relationship between succession planning (SP) and administrative leaders' performance (ALP) in Egyptian tourism companies and to measure the potential impact of SP on improving the ALP. Analytical-descriptive research methodology was used. Managers, department heads, and staff members from tourism companies in Greater Cairo were sent a questionnaire at random. The data were analyzed using SPSS V25, a statistical program. The study demonstrated that Egyptian tourism companies have high levels of SP and ALP implementation, and that SP dimensions have a favorable impact on ALP. According to the study's conclusions, senior management support and commitment are required for Egyptian tourism companies to effectively use their leadership SP unit to meet their objectives and the needs of their customers. The study also suggests that the company's vision and mission include a clear SP plan for the future and that it work to identify key job centers before managing the business and creating career SP plans.
