The lifting by the Foreign Office of its travel advice for most of Tunisia gives a long-awaited green light to UK travel firms to return to the country, and good reason for local hoteliers, restaurateurs and other businesses that rely on tourists to celebrate.
We Brits have lost a little of our shine as a source market in the intervening years. Since 2015, our weakened pound has hit our spending ability, and Brits have become a liability in the eyes of any all-inclusive hotelier stung by false sickness claims. So you could understand Tunisia having warmed more to the Germans and Italians in our absence – and yet the desire to welcome us back seems as strong as ever.
