While addressing the Assembly of the People's Representatives (ARP) at a dialogue session, the minister elaborated on the recent statistics, revealing that the number of cruises heading to Tunisia has doubled from 22 in 2022 to 46 in 2023. He emphasised that «the country has indeed evolved into a secure and sought-after destination, attracting tourists from diverse nationalities.
