With so much negative news in circulation, I thought it would be nice to shine the light on a few positive and somewhat hopeful information. On Friday May 20th, Chinese Vice President X
i Jinping said in Beijing that China “believes Tunisia’s government and its people can realize social stability and economic prosperity.” According to the Vice President he feels that the Tunisian government and its people have the “ability, wisdom and ways to find an economic system and road of development suitable for the country’s conditions”. Additionally, during the most recent G8-Leaders of the world’s richest nations approved a multi-billion-dollar aid package for Tunisia and Egypt.
As might be expected, the tourism industry is greatly effected by the continual instability. Still, there are those who still have a positive outlook on the future. According to Habib Ammar, the director-general of the Tunisian National Tourist Office (ONTT): “The revolution will help boost our tourism industry in the mid to long-term,” Habib Ammar, the director-general of the Tunisian National Tourist Office (ONTT), told the press. “I’m confident that our visitor numbers will triple or even quadruple over the next five years.”
