Tozeur State establishes a local committee to revitalize Tozeur International Oil Airport

Tozeur State launched a local commission dedicated to revitalizing Tozeur International Oil Airport, during a working session held in Tozeur City under the supervision of Governor Shahine Zaribi, to strengthen air connectivity and support tourism in the southwest.

The meeting was attended by the President of the Tunisian University of Travel and Tourism Agencies along with representatives from administrative and professional structures and civil aviation experts. The participants discussed a work programme focusing on reprogramming flights based on the needs of the region and attracting new airlines and airline contractors.

The meeting addressed the development of practical incentives to encourage the provision of regular flights to the airport, focusing on stimulating demand for domestic air transport by valuing the economic and tourism characteristics of the entity.

The Commission's work programme includes intensifying the promotion of the South West as an integrated tourist destination, and working to diversify the desert and surrounding tourism product with a view to restoring the commercial and economic dynamism associated with the sector.

The Tunisian University of Travel and Tourism Agencies reaffirmed its commitment to accompanying the Joint Committee's efforts, working to make the airport stand-alone for local development and a key driver of tourist flows to hotel and resort facilities.
