Tourism: Budget Up 9.3%

Tunisian authorities have officially announced a 9.3% increase in the tourism budget, a decision that highlights the growing importance of this sector for the national economy. This boost comes within a context of international competition, as Tunisia seeks to position itself as a top destination. The focus is on two priority areas: the maintenance of pleasure ports and the modernization of digital services. Marine pleasure ports, which are a key driver of a significant part of tourism, benefit from a dedicated budget for their maintenance and development. This initiative aims to improve the reception of cruise ships and secure infrastructure for tourists. In addition, digital services such as online booking platforms and tourist guidance apps will be strengthened to offer a smoother experience for visitors. This sustainable tourism development strategy is part of a broader plan aimed at attracting more visitors while preserving natural resources. The announced investments are expected to have a significant impact on employment and Tunisia's attractiveness, particularly in coastal regions. Tourists will thus benefit from a more varied offer and a more efficient organization.
