Statistics released by the Central Bank of Tunisia showed that tourism revenues during the January-November period grew by 32 percent to reach 6.4 billion dinars ($ 2.06 billion).
According to the Ministry of Tourism, the sector's revenues in the first seven months of this year amounted to about $ 10.7 billion, an increase of 51 percent over 2019 levels.
Tourism is one of the few bright spots in Tunisia's struggling economy, along with remittances from expatriates, amid a fiscal crisis and a drought that has affected its agricultural sector. Tunisia is one of the important markets in North Africa due to the diversity of its tourist product, and for being a key traditional destination for visitors from most European and Asian countries, especially France, Russia, and China.
