UK tour operators back in Tunisia
Three of Britain's major tour operators, Thomas Cook, Thomson Fly and First Choice, will resume their flights to Tunisia, the official press agency TAP reported on Wednesday.
The first flights are expected to take place in early March. The initiative follows the British Foreign Affairs ministry's decision last week to lift its warning about all non-essential trips to Tunisia. The tour operators halted their activities since the setting up of the state of emergency in the North African country on Jan. 14.
The move was welcomed by Tunisian tourism professionals, after the sector slumped by 40 percent since the events that led to the ouster of president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. Tourism, which accounts for 6.5 percent of the GDP, has some 400,000 people employed.
Tunisia attracted 7 million visitors each year and is considered as a major Mediterranean destination much appreciated for its sun, beaches and archeological sites.
On Tuesday, Tunisia's tourism minister Mehdi Haouas said that March and April will mark the resumption of normal tourist activities in the country.
