Tunisia is becoming a favourite hotspot with Brits, proving that tourist board marketing pics such as the one above have worked! Holidaymakers are flocking to the “jewel of the Mediterranean” with nearly 300,000 visiting between January and August, up almost a third on last year.
Last month, 55,329 Brits spent their summer holiday in Tunisia. Wahida Jaiet, UK & Ireland Director for the Tunisian National Tourist Office, said: “Tunisia has long been a popular destination with UK holidaymakers and these record-breaking figures are testament to our diverse and strong tourism offering. With over 3,000 years of culture, stunning natural landscapes, over 45 lavish thalassotherapy centres, and a range of boutique Dars and family-friendly seaside resorts, we are confident that 2013 will be our best year to date.
“Summer may be over, but Tunisia still has plenty to offer holidaymakers looking to combine a fascinating cultural break with indulgent thalasso spa treatments this autumn. With cooler days in the coming months, visitors can enjoy a pleasant day on our prestigious golf courses or take in the impressive salt lakes of Chott el-Jerid, desert festivals and movie set locations of southern Tunisia, for a thrilling alternative to the traditional sun, sea and sand holiday.”
With an average temperature of 25°C in October and at only two and half hours flight away from the UK, Tunisia is a great destination for some early winter sun. Visit www.cometotunisia.co.uk
