Your advantages: Geographical proximity and unique diversity

EXPORT AND SUSTAINABLE TOURISM

Tunisia's close proximity to Europe and its resulting short trade routes provide a great opportunity for exporters and tourism operators to benefit from the lucrative European market. Thanks to favorable climatic conditions and a growing supply of organically grown products, there is excellent sales potential, especially for natural ingredients, e.g.

  • Dates, dried tomatoes, dried herbs, olive oil, various seed oils 
  • Essential oils, high-quality fatty oils, spirulina, saffron and much more.

The Mediterranean climate - together with the fine sandy beaches, paradisiacal desert oases and a 3,000-year-old cultural history - is also responsible for Europeans eagerness to discover Tunisia as a unique travel destination. European tour operators are particularly looking for sustainable tourism offers: 

  • Cultural and adventure tours, for example nature and bird watching, mountain biking
  • Family trips with accommodation in eco-hotels
  • Adventure tours to the Tunisian Sahara, eg. desert safaris or camel trekking.

If you are an exporter of natural ingredients or a provider of sustainable tourism offers and looking for trading partners in Europe, IPD is your ideal partner.

YOUR ADVANTAGES

  • Targeted procurement of suitable partners in Europe
  • Intensive preparation for your market entry
  • Networking at European trade fairs, virtual b2b events, FAM trips or selling missions

IPD activities in Tunisia
