A Sector on the Rise
This visit comes as the Tunisian tourism sector records an improvement in its indicators, driven in part by the recovery of international flows and the repositioning of the destination on certain markets. According to an official statement, the Minister emphasized the need to adapt training programs to the new requirements of the market, integrating skills related to digitalization, customer experience, and new tourism professions. The goal is to better meet the expectations of an increasingly demanding and diverse clientele.
A Broader Vision for Tunisian Tourism
This orientation is part of a broader vision to modernize Tunisia's tourist offer, focusing not only on infrastructure but also on skill qualification.
