Overview
Tunisia's tourism receipts stood at $1.0B in 2020, a decline of +$1.7B from 2019. Tunisia ranked 60th globally.
Tunisia’s tourism receipts have fallen sharply from an all‑time peak of 3,909,000,000.00 in 2008 to the 2020 trough of 1,007,000,000.00, placing the country at rank 60 globally and matching the Bahamas’ 2020 figure of 1,007,000,000.00. The decline reflects the combined impact of the global financial crisis, political turbulence after the 2011 Arab Spring, and the COVID‑19 pandemic, which together eroded visitor numbers and spending. Over the 26‑year series, receipts were more than three times higher in 2008 than in 1995 (1,838,000,000.00), underscoring the volatility of the sector. Compared with peers such as Peru (1,002,000,000.00) and Chile (1,034,000,000.00), Tunisia’s recent performance remains modest, yet the country retains a diversified Mediterranean appeal that could support recovery. Continued investment in infrastructure, marketing, and health‑security measures will be crucial to reverse the downward trend and restore growth in the post‑pandemic era.
