Tunisia-Coronavirus: 50% of hotels have closed their doors

The honorary president of the Tunisian hotel federation, Radhouane Ben Salah said on Saturday, October 10, 2020, that nearly 50% of Tunisian hotels have closed their doors amid the coronavirus crisis.

Ben Salah said that even hotels, whose doors are still open, are suffering from serious financial difficulties. The 500 million dinars (MD) line of credit, mobilized by the government at the start of the health crisis, has not been activated to date, due to bank rejection.

The tourism sector, and in particular the hotel industry, has been hit hard by the repercussions of the Covid-19 pandemic.
