FCO update gives ‘confidence boost’ to Tunisia
Tunisian tourist officials have welcomed the UK Government’s change of advice on travel to certain parts of the country.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) has announced it no longer advises against all but essential travel to the town of Jendouba in the north-west, and some areas of southern Tunisia, including the towns of Médenine, Tataouine and Douz.
Tunisian National Tourist Office director Wahida Jaiet said: "The change in the FCO travel advice will give a huge boost to confidence in Tunisia. 2018 is the year to rebuild faith and trust in Tunisia."
However, the FCO is advising against all but essential travel to the Biq region (west of Ghardimaou) in Jendouba governorate.
