Tunisia is aiming to "woo" operators at World Travel Market London (WTM) 2017, as the country seeks to demonstrate it is "open for business".

The UK Foreign Office (FCO) altered its travel advice in July. Since then a number of operators have restarted their programmes to Tunisia, including Thomas Cook which is now offering flights and holidays in the country from February 2018.

Mounira Derben Ben Cherifa, director of the Tunisian National Tourist Office UK, said: “We are confident that the Brits will come back again to Tunisia as they’ve been going on holiday there for the last 40 years."

She also pointed out that thousands of Brits had continued to holiday in the North African country despite the FCO ban.

She said: “The main message at WTM London will be ‘Tunisia is open for business again’.
