Marketing & Communications

Promoting Tunisia as a premier tourism destination.

THE SECTOR

Tourism is one of Tunisia’s most important industries, attracting more than 9 million visitors and contributing 13.1% of GDP in 2019. With advanced marketing techniques that showcase the country’s full wealth of natural and cultural resources, the sector promises to grow even more profitable and inspire a new segment of local and international travelers.

VISIT TUNISIA’S VISION AND STRATEGY

The USAID Visit Tunisia Activity is helping to promote Tunisia as a high-quality tourist destination with diverse offerings, increasing the number of tourists year-round and creating new source markets. Visit Tunisia works with the government and private sector partners to improve Tunisia’s branding and marketing strategy, including by providing marketing training and assistance to enterprises and launching targeted tourism campaigns that showcase the country’s unique cultural, archeological, and adventure assets.
