Tunisia Announces New 52-Hectare Tourist Zone in Aïn Draham
Tunisia has announced the creation of a new 52-hectare tourist zone in Aïn Draham, located in the Jendouba governorate, near the border with Algeria. The project, confirmed by Governor Taieb Dridi, aims to diversify the local tourist offer, attract investors, and stimulate employment in this strategic border region.
Key Features of the Project
- The site benefits from local road access and networks of drinking water and electricity, allowing for the development of tourist services year-round, including in winter.
- The proximity to Algeria could make this zone an attractive destination for Algerian tourists, strengthening cross-border exchanges in the tourism sector.
Current Status of the Project
The project is currently in the administrative and legal planning phase. Local authorities have been tasked with launching the necessary procedures in collaboration with the ministries of agriculture, water resources, and state domains. No specific timeline or details on the infrastructure to be built (hotels, residences, equipment) have been communicated at this time.
Broader Strategy and Objectives
This initiative is part of a larger strategy to enhance the natural and landscape potential of Jendouba, create permanent and seasonal jobs, and boost the local economy. It represents an example of sustainable and attractive tourism for Tunisia and its Algerian neighbors, highlighting the country's commitment to developing its tourism sector while promoting regional cooperation and economic growth.
