Tunisia is one of the leaders in the tourism market of North Africa. Pleasant climate, warm Mediterranean Sea, large flat beaches, rich spa - these are good reasons to want to spend a vacation in Tunisia. In addition, there is such a diverse cultural heritage, before which even Egypt and many European countries take off their hats. The fact is that a piece of the Earth, which is now trampled upon by the inhabitants of Tunisia, has always been tried by anyone to conquer, and many even succeeded. So, in ancient centuries, the city of Carthage flourished, which was founded by the Phoenicians. Then it was destroyed by the Romans. Tunisia has long been under French rule - until then, when the Arabs did not take up public administration. Naturally, each conquest left a significant imprint on the culture of the country. And in our time, almost every “imprint” has become a popular tourist attraction. The most notorious tourist attraction of Tunisia is the ruins of the ancient city of Carthage, and in El Jem there is an ancient amphitheater, which in size and grandeur is not inferior to the Roman Colosseum. Other interesting objects, such as the Saint-Vincent-de-Paul Cathedral, the Hammamet History Museum, the Gazi Mustafa Fortress, La Goulet, etc., also annually receive their portion of international tourists.
For Russian tourists, vacation in Tunisia is not overshadowed by almost any formalities. Citizens of the Russian Federation do not need to go through the visa pre-registration procedure to enter Tunisia, and even upon arrival at the airport a visa stamp is put on for free.
Tunisia is a wonderful resort, but in a classic beach holiday it can hardly compete with industry leaders - Egypt and Turkey. But there is one thing in Tunisia that makes it especially attractive for tourists, or rather, for tourists - thalassotherapy. This is a set of procedures for the treatment of various diseases and cosmetic defects. The main component and the main active ingredient of thalassotherapy is sea mud. In qualified clinics, there are programs for the successful treatment of serious illnesses, the consequences of injuries and operations with sea mud, but tourists mainly try thalasso to improve the appearance, tightening or expelling of hated cellulite.
Tunis Hotels
Although Tunisia is focused on the European tourist audience, the standards of service in this country are far from ideal. The approach to serving tourists in many institutions is quite archaic, and the hotel sector is developing randomly. On the one hand, several first-class prestigious hotels have already been rebuilt in the country, and even for economical tourists several worthy options have appeared, but most hotels in Tunisia are still quite old and dull.
When choosing a hotel in Tunisia, you should pay attention to the region, listen to the opinion of the manager in a travel agency, if he had to go on an advertising tour, and to the reviews of tourists. But the star classification of the hotel sector in Tunisia is a controversial criterion. Sometimes a three-star hotel may not be inferior in all respects to a five-star hotel.
