Tunisia: FTAV Launches Call for Applications to Promote Alternative Tourism

The Tunisian Federation of Travel and Tourism Agencies (FTAV) has opened applications for a new support program focused on alternative tourism. This initiative aims to bolster and promote this burgeoning sector to European markets and tour operators.

In collaboration with the national project "Tunisia Our Destination," the program seeks to structure, develop, and commercialize alternative tourism offerings. It is specifically designed for a select group of Category A travel agencies that are active in receptive tourism and are members of the FTAV.

Selected agencies will participate in a comprehensive program from July 2026 to January 2027. This will include skill enhancement workshops, business-to-business meetings, personalized coaching, and familiarization trips for specialized media.

Interested agencies must submit their applications online before June 5, 2026, at 11:59 PM. The selection results are scheduled to be announced in mid-June 2026. This program represents a concerted effort to diversify Tunisia's tourism appeal beyond traditional offerings.
