The French national anti-terrorist prosecutor’s office has opened an investigation after the death of the Marseille father in the attack on a synagogue in Djerba. Tunisians hope that the attack will not have an impact on tourist activity.
In Tunisia, tourism represents 14% of the GDP of the economy, indicates, Thursday, May 11, the journalist Valéry Lerouge, special correspondent in Djerba (Tunisia), where 90% live from it. “The government does not want to relive the collapse of 2015, after the attacks on the Bardo museum and the beach in Sousse”he adds.
Confident tourism stakeholders
Two days after the attack, is the attractiveness of the island threatened? On a souk, the shooting is still in the minds of some vacationers. THE manager of Radisson Blu, Mohamed Jeta, remains confident. “Perhaps there will be a slowdown in the pace for the summer season.
