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

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

The decision to organize this event was made during a working session held on Friday in Milan between the 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, added the Tunisian Tourism Ministry.
