VOICED : Tunisia hopeful for a strong return in tourism

The video discusses the impact of the 2011 revolution on Tunisia's tourism sector, which accounted for 8% of GDP and 400,000 jobs. Post-revolution, tourist numbers dropped significantly, affecting local businesses. Although visitor numbers have started to recover, they remain below pre-revolution levels, and tourists are spending less due to the popularity of all-inclusive packages. The government aims to diversify tourism options, including cultural, golf, and religious tourism, to attract a wider range of visitors. Despite challenges, there is optimism that Tunisia's beaches and cultural heritage will draw tourists back.
