Trabelsi said “it was not a simple decision to make” recognising the spiritual and symbolic dimension of the pilgrimage.
The pilgrimage of Ghriba is an annual event which displays the values of tolerance and fraternity in Tunisia. Its successful holding has always been a positive indicator of the tourist season, Trabelsi added.
