VOICED : Tunisia looks to branch out into wine tourism

Tunisian winemaking has a rich history dating back over 3000 years. After a decline post-independence, the industry revived in the 1990s. The favorable climate produces high-quality grapes, leading to excellent wines. Tunisia produces 32 million bottles annually, mainly for domestic consumption, but is now focusing on international markets. The wine industry is seen as a potential boost for tourism, which has struggled since the 2011 revolution. Authorities aim to create a Tunisian wine route to attract tourists, enhancing the sector's economic value.
