The Tunisian tourism sector has returned to moving in the right direction towards recovery after it managed in 2022 to get out of the repercussions of the Corona pandemic that hindered it during the past two years after it achieved an increase in the number of visitors and revenues.
The sector witnessed great development, which was evident in its numbers recorded over the past year, but it is still far from the levels of 2019, which experts consider to be the "golden year" for tourism.
Revenues jumped by 83.1 percent to reach 4.28 billion dinars ($1.34 billion) annually, making it possible to recover 76 percent of 2019 revenues.
These revenues are in line with the expectations of the Tunisian Ministry of Tourism, which announced that, since last summer 2022, Tunisia would recover half of the revenues of 2019, after the government estimated the size of the sector’s losses during the pandemic at about $2.4 billion.
The ministry revealed that the indicators for the sector, which were recorded during the entire year 2022, showed exceeding the set goals, achieving between 50 and 60 percent of the figures for 2019.
