Tunisia obtained the title of Arab Tourism Capital 2027 following the 28th session of the Arab Ministerial Tourism Council meeting in Baghdad. A distinction which recognizes the cultural wealth of the country, the diversity of its heritage and its growing influence on the regional creative scene.
A crowning achievement for a plural heritage
The choice of Tunisia reflects broad recognition: that of its historical heritage, the variety of its landscapes, its major archaeological sites and its cities with a unique character.
From the UNESCO-listed medinas to the Saharan expanses, including ancient cities and the coastline, the country presents a mosaic of attractions rarely equaled in the Arab world.
This distinction comes as Tunisia prepares to join the UNESCO Creative Cities Network in 2026, a further step in consolidating its image as a cultural hub.
The title of Arab Capital of Tourism thus recognizes its artistic dynamics, its architectural development and the vitality of its cultural industries.
A strong signal for the country’s tourism positioning
The election of Tunisia among the region’s flagship destinations strengthens its international visibility and confirms its place among the major players in Arab tourism.
For tourist institutions, this award opens the way to a strategy of increased promotion of the country, its offer and its attractiveness, with the ambition of consolidating flows and diversifying markets.
