Schedule

Context
The initiative comes amid a renewed interest from Central European markets in Tunisia’s coastal destinations. It follows the successful launch of a Polish charter line in summer 2025, which already helped to energize activity in Tabarka.
Expected Impact on Local Hospitality
Tourists are expected to stay in several well‑known hotels in the city, including:
- Hotel Méhari
- La Cigale
- Thabraca
These established properties are projected to see increased occupancy thanks to the new charter traffic.
Strategic Goals for Tunisian Tourism
- Diversify source markets by adding the Czech Republic to the list of key departure points.
- Extend the summer season beyond the traditional circuits, providing a longer revenue window for local businesses.
- Raise Tabarka’s profile internationally; direct charter flights from Prague will spotlight the town’s beautiful beaches and hospitality infrastructure.
This new charter connection underscores the growing attractiveness of Tabarka as a Mediterranean getaway and signals a broader trend of expanding tourism links between Tunisia and Central Europe.
