The, the Minister outlined the actions in the pipeline that would boost up the tourism sector of the nations in North Africa in spite of the pandemic.
“We will allow for the tourists to come and camp in the desert, while respecting the sanitary protocol for tourists and while remaining in organized trips”, he added.
Tourism is tremendously important to Tunisia’s economy. The sector accounts for about 8 percent of the national output of the country. It is the second largest employer in Tunisia with about 400,000 people associated in the industry.
