The fact that Tunisia has been a visa-free destination for Indians since 2017 and yet receives only 3000 – 3500 Indian visitors a year is proof that the awareness levels regarding the place in low in the country – a statistic that is about to change in the near future as Representation World, takes over the marketing and promotion of the destination in India.
Sharing his thoughts on the event, the Ambassador said, “For Indians, all they need is a valid passport, hotel bookings and confirmed return ticket to clear immigration at Tunisia. The destination receives close to 7.5 million tourists every year and we want to increase the percentage of Indians in this figure. From food, to five-star hotels, historic and UNESCO sites, buzzing nightlife, exotic spas, medical and cosmetic treatment centres, Tunisia offers it all. The city of Carthage, the National Bardo Museum, Sidi Bou Said – a clifftop village, the various souks, El Djem Amphitheatre and Star Wars locations – a tourist will truly be spoilt for choice in Tunisia. One needs a minimum of 5 days to do justice to sightseeing in the destination.”
Promoting the region for shooting for Bollywood movies and a probable destination wedding option is also on the cards for Tunisia. Well, with so much going on in view of marketing and positioning the destination in India, we are sure many of you would be booking a holiday to the destination in the coming months.
