TUNISIA Why tourists shun the country they jasmine?

Climate, high rate of sunshine, eight registered in UNESCO heritage sites and yet tourism has declined sharply in Tunisia. Cyclical or structural failure gloom? How to turn the corner?

If the Tunisian tourism is now in poverty, this is largely because we practice tourism misery! "Deplores La Presse. Such a crisis is not cyclical and is rather a structural failure, adds the Tunisian newspaper denouncing a low-end tourism, set up to "deal with the sluggish economy" while the downgrade is "structural, and its effects are part of the long term."

"A force to pull the sector down by dint of selling prices, to force submit to the diktat of TO [tour operators] and consent, by dint of seeing the all inclusive [all inclusive] a lifeline, where rather should be seen as a burden, the Tunisian tourism professionals have not only lowered and moved into beggars. They have not only impoverished and even more engulfed in the sea of unpaid and credits attached ... they mostly downgraded Tunisia. "

For the French-language daily, Tunisia, once a pioneer in the field of tourism in the region, now looks a "cheap" destination with all that that carries such connotations and prejudices. Without adequate policy, this pillar sector of the economy will continue to sink into a muddy rut warns La Presse for professionals in the field who are unwittingly, the architects of their own downfall. Turning the Corner, he believes, will not be "easy".

This observation is increasingly shared by industry professionals, reports The Times. Indeed, Bouslama Habib, vice-president of the Tunisian Federation of hotels, paints an alarming finding of a sector that is in "free fall" for several months, while Abdelkader Khelil, president of the Tunisian Federation of Travel Agencies Cap Bon, points to the external environment that marginalizes other hoteliers and travel agents subject, he said, the "dictates of the giants of international tourism."

However, the paper recalls the highly structural nature of the crisis in lamenting the inability of Tunisia to follow the "international assignments", which led him to be overtaken by Morocco and Turkey on the Mediterranean scene. He added that the predominance of seaside activity reflects the crystallization of an industry that insists on keeping the status quo in a changing world.

For its part, the Algerian daily Liberté regrets plummeting Tunisian tourism due, he said, the unrest in the country since the overthrow of Ben Ali in January 2011 "Tunisia is on the brink of bankruptcy due political instability in the country. He also instability are the building blocks of the national eco
nomy, especially tourism. sector rose by 1.4% compared to 2012, and July 31 last country hosted nearly 4 million tourists. Reaching 7 million tourists by the end of the year, according to the objectives remains utopian. "The newspaper said the situation is more catastrophic than it looks, the Tunisian authorities did not hesitate to "inflate the numbers" to dramatize things.

Freedom notes that the Algerians have suffered the consequences of the Tunisian crisis. "Many, especially young people who daily cross the border post, do not spend their holidays in Tunisia. They now prefer other destinations in Tunisia is such a transit country. Their destinations are Italy, Turkey and the Morocco. reason? simply companies these three countries offer attractive and competitive from Tunisia rates. "


Indonesia and tourism

Indonesia is a mosaic of peoples and ethnicities which combines Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu and animist. Each at their own pace, from traditional to more frantic.
Indonesia is also a multitude of islands, stalk in the middle of the Indian Ocean to the capricious waters. Nature is no exception: in the impenetrable jungles of Sumatra still evolving tigers, elephants, snakes, orangutans. In Java, the volcanic mountains vie extraordinary landscapes. Nusa Tenggara and Sulawesi islands are extraordinary, which fiercely protect foreign cultures.
You'll understand, Indonesia, this island with lush is fascinating. Generous and multicultural Indonesia invites the traveler to the scenery ... and it succeeded.


Tourism in France




With 1.1 billion people in 2013, tourism has experienced since World War II, an exceptional expansion worldwide. In France, its importance and the impact it can have on other sectors, he participated in the economic performance of the country and is part of the social behavior of the French, for whom the holidays is a special time, which they are attached since the creation of paid leave in 1936. In ". Tourism geographical Lectures", No. 8094 of photographic revueDocumentation (The French Documentation, July-August 2013), Philippe Duhamel says that "tourism growth follows ... two logic: first international mobility, advanced tip of the iceberg, whose growth is exponential; secondly, a much more recent worldwide, which also has a very strong domestic growth or national mobility. International mobility accounted for 50 million tourists in 1950; they relate to one billion tourists in 2012, an average interannual growth of 15 million people. The increase was steady between 1950 and 1980, with a slight bend around the first oil shock and a fairly clear stabilization time of the second, before experiencing a new phase of growth to sharper downturn caused by the aTVttacks of September 11 2001, followed by the outbreak of Severe acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) part of Asia in 2003. Since then, the international tourism growth is following logical contrast between strong annual increases and few setbacks (...) Everything leads us to believe that almost nothing can stop the development of tourism. Economic crisis, natural and health disasters, wars or terrorist acts produce downtime that can last many years across a region or a country, but are insensitive to the continental or global scale. The most interesting is the speed with which human societies once again become tourist peace, stability or resolution of the crisis established ".
