With the withdrawal of many tour operators from Tunisia, at least in the short term, what is the future for Tunisian tourism?

This isn’t the name of a new campaign encouraging us to visit the country. This is just a small part of what Tunisia was doing at a trade show in Berlin this week. ITB in Berlin is one of the biggest travel trade shows in the world and Tunisia is one of two North African countries (Egypt being the other) trying to encourage the travel trade to advocate the country to you and I.

Before the end of the Tunisian regime last week, Tunisia had been tipped as one of the possible hot destinations in 2011. It had been stable for much of the last couple of decades, it was outside the eurozone, it was tourist friendly and catered for them well. There were resorts that welcomed children and provided all year entertainment to visitors. In short it had a lot going for it. What will be the appeal to us to go there this summer?
