Tunisia faces water and power shortages affecting tourism
Le Monde highlights the growing repercussions of power and water outages in Tunisia, especially in coastal areas that rely on tourism during the summer season. During July and August, regions such as Bizerte have experienced continuous disruptions in basic services, leading to financial losses for tourism and commercial establishments, canceled bookings, and job opportunities lost. The main reasons include increased electricity consumption due to the heatwave and the accumulation of devices like air conditioners, along with inadequate infrastructure, which has forced business owners to rely on expensive and damaged generators. This crisis affects the tourism sector, which accounts for 5.1% of the GDP and provides around 400,000 jobs, as tourists tend to avoid the affected areas out of fear of deteriorating accommodation conditions, jeopardizing the sustainability of the country's tourist season.
