A Tunisian-Italian tourism event will be held in March 2024 in Tunis, with the participation of a high-level Italian delegation led by Italian Minister of Tourism Daniela Garnero Santanchè, said the Tourism Ministry on Friday.

A memorundum of understanding (MoU) will be inked during this event so as to boost cooperation in the tourism field.

The decision to organise this event was made during a working session held on Friday in Milan between Minister of Tourism and Handicrafts Mohamed Moez Belhassine and his Italian counterpart.

Belhassine is on a 3-day visit to Italy (December 1-3) as part of Tunisia’s participation in the Artigiano in Fiera 2023 international fair, held December 2-10 in Milan.

Discussions also focused on the potential for bilateral cooperation in the tourism and handicrafts sectors, notably in matters of communication and promotion of the two destinations.
