Summary
Tourism in Tunisia accounts for around 6.5% of North Africa’s total GDP, and the country’s tourism industry employs around 500,000 people. Tunisia’s travel and tourism industry contributed 14.2% to the country’s GDP in 2011. The total contribution of travel and tourism to national GDP increased from US$7.6 billion in 2007 to US$7.9 billion in 2010, before declining to US$6.6 billion in 2011. The decline was primarily due to political instability in the country.
