TTG Tunisia Debate 2017

July 26, 2017 was a big day for Tunisian tourism. After two painful years of isolation from the UK market, the north African nation was finally given the all-clear for tourists to return to (most of) its shores by the UK’s Foreign Office. The FCO’s travel ban had followed two brutal attacks on tourists in 2015 – one at the Bardo Museum in Tunis leaving 21 dead (mostly European travellers) and the murder of 38 tourists in Sousse – the latest TTG Debate, hosted in association with News UK, in London last week, explored how the country, and indeed the trade, will attempt to win Britons back.
