Tunisia and tourism today
Tunisia is a beautiful country which has lovely beaches. This is one place that a lot of Europeans frequently go at. People over here are very friendly with the tourists as they know that tourism is their bread and butter. Even though the population is largely Muslim, women over here do not wear veil. Fundamentalism is forbidden over here.
However a lot of things have been working against the tourism in Tunisia. The situations right now is that of a war. Lot of tourists are leaving the country in fear for their lives. All the flights going out of Tunisia are booked. And there are still people stuck in the country. Many European tour operators have cancelled trips to Tunis till the mid of February, while a lot of trips are routed to other tourist destination. All of this is due to a political chaos that began since the 2009 election.
For a country that depends heavily on tourism this is going to severely hit their economy. As many as 6000 tourist from Germany have cancelled their trip to Tunis and that’s just one country. There are so many tourists from around the world who are cancelling their trip. A lot of energy must be wasted in booking and cancelling the trip to Tunis in the last few days; I wonder if company like Enigin would have a better idea.
One thing is for sure, the country is not only going to be economically hit by the tourists that have cancelled their trips this month, but this is also going to create a negative publicity for Tunisia. And there is going to be a major decrease in the tourism industry even in the coming years. No one wants to go to a place which has a recent history of violence.
