Tunisia, l’anno della svolta Jatlaoui: “I viaggi culturali spingono i numeri”

🏖️ Tunisia witnessed a comeback in tourism with a total of 10 million international arrivals in 2024, experiencing a 20% growth in the Italian market. The trend shifted towards cultural tourism, with increased interest in the country's historical, archaeological, and cultural sites, aiding in the destagionalization of Tunisia's tourism which was previously focused on coastal attractions during summer months. Enhancements in connections, like Tunisair's new Catania-Tunis flight, aim to further market growth, particularly in Southern Italy. The national tourism board's promotional campaign 'Vivi l’istante' targets various niches, including up-level tourism with a focus on golf and thalassotherapy, and spotlighting northern regions like Tabarka. Digital channels are also being leveraged to achieve the goal of attracting 200,000 Italian visitors.

Ritardi e disagi in volo: la Ue rivede i risarcimenti

💸 The European Union is revising compensation rules for flight delays, affecting passenger protections for delays over 3 hours, under regulation 261/2004. Compensation varies: €250 for flights up to 1500km, €400 for 1500-3500km, and €600 for longer distances. Flights must depart from or arrive in the EU (including Switzerland). Poland, as EU Council President, proposes extending compensation delay to 5 hours, and 12 hours for long-haul flights. Last year, 2% of flights qualified for €2 billion in total compensation. Consumer associations estimate that 85% of passengers currently eligible for compensation would lose that right under new rules due to most delays being under 5 hours.
