The 2007 Davos World Economic Forum Report ranks Tunisia first in Africa and second in the Arab World after Dubai , in terms of tourist and travel competitiveness. More than 6 million tourists visit Tunisia each year, making it one of the top Mediterranean destinations. The report, which is based on three main criteria: business environment, human and natural resources and the quality of political reforms undertaken, also writes that Tunisia ranks 34 th in the world insofar as its travel and tourist competitiveness are concerned. It comes ahead of Turkey (52 nd ), Thailand (43 rd ) and Morocco (57 th ). In recent years, Tunisia has taken a moderate, non-aligned stance in its foreign relations. Domestically, it has sought to diffuse rising pressure for a more open political society. Tunisian cuisine is very much in the Northern African Maghreb tradition, with couscous and tajine stews forming the backbone of most meals. It has been most popular for its health and spa resorts. So do plan your next trip to this beautiful country. Source: All Africa
