The Algerian-Tunisian Border Opening Radiates Hope for Tourism

As the Algerian-Tunisian border opens for travel, hotels like The Residence Tunis will be able to expect a rising number of Tunis events that will be held at its premises. As posted on the Middle East Eye, the border was opened on a celebratory note during the celebration of the 60^th anniversary of Algerian independence by their President, Abdelmadjid Tebboune in the presence of the Tunisian President, Kais Saied.

According to a statement made by the Tunisian Minister of Tourism, Mohamed Moez Bellhassine, since the borders opened on the 15^th of July 2022, Tunisia has welcomed over 60,000 Algerians to their lands. The reopening has prompted Tunisia to organise a bus which can carry 50 passengers, operating once a week. Although the number of travellers visiting Tunisia is lower than it was during the pre-COVID era, the country remains hopeful for the number to grow.
