From the Mediterranean north to the Saharan south, Tunisia boasts an exceptionally varied climate and contrasting landscape within a small distance from each other.
Just a few hundred kilometres separate the forests of the north-west from the orange groves of the Cap Bon peninsula, the contrasting relief of the West from the fortified granaries of the Great South, the beaches of Djerba from the dunes of the Sahara…
Tunisia has some 800 classified hotels, of which 26 per cent are upper level (4 and 5 star).
The hotel offer has also been boosted with the arrival of international hotel chains such as Radisson Blu (Djerba and Hammamet), Golden Tulip (Tunis, Gammarth and Hammamet), Sheraton (Tunis), Mövenpick (Gammarth, Sousse, Sfax and Tunis), Novotel (Tunis), Four Seasons (Gammarth) and many others.
One of the significant tendencies of recent years has been the appreciable increase in the capacity of hotels’ meetings facilities.
Some have veritable congress centres, as is the case with the Nour Palace in Mahdia (room with 1,100 seats), the congress centre in the Azur Complex in Hammamet or the El Mouradi Congress Center in Port El Kantaoui (room with 1,200 seats).
Near 70 hotels boast a large conference room accommodating more than 400 peaple.
Why shut yourself away in a room when you can meet in a palm oasis (Sahara Lounge), an ancient caravanserai (like the one in Sousse), a Roman amphitheatre (El Jem) or an ancient fort (the one at Hammamet)?
Restored old houses, Saharan architecture, Bedouin and kaidal tents, film sets… Tunisia offers numerous locations for events that combine charm with a complete change of scenery.
With ten golf courses, 60 thalassotherapy centres, numerous sports facilities, the possibility of original activities (hot air ballooning, trekking, quad racing, kite surfing…) and countless excursion programmes from every town and region, Tunisia has the ingredients to make your business travel more attractive.
Tunisia is probably one of the rare Mediterranean destinations where astonishment and originality continue to be available at a modest price.
It is the destination that has made the most effort to adapt to the new requirements of companies and conference organizers in terms of economy and quality. This competitiveness is due in particular to the control of production costs, which are lower than elsewhere, and to the lower cost of transport to Tunisia and within the country itself.
The increase in the standard of hotels and the improvement of service, noticeable in recent years, have not altered the advantage of Tunisia in terms of price.
With the increase in congress and incentives clientele, Tunisian hotels have improved their facilities and services.
The number of specialist travel agencies is increasing all the time. They are the indispensable partners for the incentive houses and congress organizers.
A grand tradition of hospitality combined with a long experience of receiving foreign visitors: that is the assurance of being received with professionalism, those small details and the local touch which give an event charm and make it a success.
