The agreement aimed to raise awareness of investment opportunities in the fields of tourism and handicrafts and to boost exports of handicrafts, Elloumi said.
It also aimed to guarantee access to new markets for Tunisian products and allow the Tunisian diplomatic representations to provide support services to firms and public structures stemming from the Ministry of Tourism and Handicrafts, the minister underlined.
She added that the services to be provided by the Foreign Department consist of guaranteeing information on foreign markets and preparing economic fact sheets on the economic juncture, in addition to providing immediate information on the provisions relating to the travel ban from the country of accreditation.
Tourism days will be organised to make known the Tunisia destination, in addition to the organisation of professional meetings and participation in specialised fairs, she said.
