The main tourist indicators continued their deterioration in February 2015, recording even decline from the levels achieved in 2012 and 2013, said the Central Bank of Tunisia (BCT) in a statement released Thursday.
This has particularly affected the overall tourist bed-nights (-10.7% and -27% compared to the same month of 2014 and 2010 respectively), foreign tourist arrivals (-28.8% and -32.8%) and tourism receipts in foreign currency (-2.6% and + 0.2%).
Meanwhile, the air transport posted a 14.8% yoy drop in passenger traffic in January 2015, against an increase of 6.3% a year earlier, the number of passengers having dropped to 495 thousand people.
