Tunisian hotels have accommodated more than 5.4 million visitors during the previous period of 2016, including two million Tunisian tourists, Minister of Tourism and Handicrafts Salma Elloumi Rekik reported, highlighting the importance of domestic tourism which has accounted for about 30% of the market.
The tourist sector will recover, in 2017, since 2016 has been saved, in view of the great decline in 2015, she told TAP correspondent on the sidelines of her visit Wednesday afternoon to a hand-crafted gift fair in Nabeul.
She said preparations for the 2017 season have begun, adding that several programs have been put in place over the medium and long terms to improve tourism services.
