Jendouba, Tunisia anticipates welcoming a record-breaking 1.6 million Algerian tourists by the end of 2025. This projection, revealed by Tunisian Regional Tourism Delegate Aissa Marouani, signifies a substantial increase in Algerian visitors to the region.
The expected surge builds upon the already impressive 1.302 million Algerian tourists who visited in 2024, highlighting the growing popularity of Jendouba as a destination for Algerian travelers.
Marouani noted a particularly high influx expected between December 20th and 31st, projecting over 20,000 Algerian tourists and more than 32,000 overnight stays. Additionally, over 3,000 visitors are expected to spend New Year’s Eve in Jendouba. These figures underscore the vibrancy of the tourism sector during the year-end holiday season.
The three land border crossings within the Jendouba region experienced a significant increase in traffic during November, with over 182,000 Algerian tourists crossing, a 74.47% increase compared to the same period in 2024. This surge further indicates the rising interest in Tunisian destinations among Algerian tourists.
Marouani emphasized that Algerian tourists receive special attention, including preferential pricing and enhanced services. He added that the increased border traffic has positively impacted the local tourism sector and stimulated economic activity in the region. These trends underscore the importance of strengthening tourism cooperation between Algeria and Tunisia to meet the expectations of Algerian visitors.
