Tunisia still ‘too raw’ for Irish holidaymakers

Irish holidaymakers are unlikely to return to Tunisia in the near future, despite tour operator, Thomas Cook, restarting the route for UK visitors.

Irish Travel Agents’ Association (ITAA) chief executive, Pat Dawson, said Tunisia “was still too raw”, after 39 tourists were killed in a terrorist atrocity in Sousse in June 2015, including three Irish.

Tunisia’s tourism revenues have risen 19% this year, reflecting a recovery in a vital sector crippled two years ago.
