Now here’s an
exotic locale: Tunisia. The country is making a push to be a tourist destination – dollars yum yum – and says it is
dramatically improving its tourist infrastructure. Says Rachid Mardessi, head of the Tunisian Tourist Board in
Tunis.
“We are Mediterranean in our outlook. We have many world-class hotels but people also have to look beyond the
resorts. Our infrastructure has been greatly improved in the past 10 years. There is more money here than in Morocco.
The medinas and monuments are better looked after. And in terms of security, safety, and the status of women, Tunisia
is revolutionary.”
I’m convinced. OK, who’s in?
