Pledging to help the Tunisian tourism industry become more sustainable, the Hammamet charter has set out a number of goals.
These include stopping the use of single-use plastic cups and cutlery by March 2020; recycling more; encouraging hotels to achieve Global Sustainable Tourism Council certification by December 2020; and giving regional artisans more opportunities to sell to guests, therefore supporting the local economy.
It was developed in partnership with the municipality of Hammamet, the Ministry of Tourism, Abta, Tui, Tunisia’s waste management agency Anged, and the Tunisian Hotel Federation.
