Tunisian authorities have put forward an initiative of imposing a departure tax. Non-residents now have to pay about $17 upon leaving Tunisia.
On the eve of the Moscow spring week of travel business professionals, a new General Director of Tunisia’s National Tourism Office was appointed – Khaled Trabelsi, who then visited MITT-2014. TRN magazine took an exclusive interview with the new appointee, where he shed some light on the plans for developing the destination on the Russian market, the inner workings of the country’s tourism and the nuances of promoting Tunisia.
Travel Russian News magazine and Superjob.ru are ready to present the results of another joint research aimed at determining the attitude of Russians to a wide-spread tour operator service – early booking, and also at finding out which countries are often booked in advance.
The number of Russian tourists coming to Tunisia is growing by the year. The majority of them are only interested in local beaches, but the country can offer tourists plenty of other recreational activities. At the end of December Tunisia’s tourism office gave Moscow journalists an opportunity to try these activities for themselves (PHOTOS).
According to many travel companies, the latest summer season exceeded the last year’s results, which is also corroborated by statistics: during 2013 the country was visited by about 300 thousand Russian tourists, which is 50 thousand more compared to the last year. However, experts deem it to be only a quantitative index for the market as opposed to a qualitative one.
The tax is projected to come into effect starting October 2014
According to Domodedovo Airport, from March to September of 2013 almost all top destinations were growing, aside from Egypt and Croatia. The mean growth value constituted 15.8%.
