Tunisia's domestic market has gradually restored the pace of foreign inbound tourism since 2022, at a time when this year's figures indicate that it will surpass the pre-pandemic year.
According to figures from the Tunisian Ministry of Tourism, total inbound tourism during the first eight months of this year reached 6.23 million. The government expects about 9.2 million tourists to come to Tunisia in 2023, up from 6.43 million last year.
Tourism revenues of 5.1 billion dinars ($1.6 billion) were recorded, compared to 3.5 billion dinars ($1.1 billion) a year ago, an increase of 47.2 percent. It is estimated that the consequences of the war in Eastern Europe have lost the Tunisian market by about 650,000 Russian tourists and about a hundred thousand Ukrainian tourists.
