LE TOURISME DE MASSE POST-COVID : RENOUVEAU DES PRATIQUES TOURISTIQUES ET DES ADAPTATIONS EN TUNISIE

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has severely impacted global tourism. The sector, although accustomed to crises, has never gone through an ordeal of such magnitude in its history. The importance of the crisis is such that all the components of this sector are impacted. The tourist offer will have to deal with complex national and international health regulations, even travel bans, impacting both sending, mixed and receiving countries. Tourism being the only consumer product for which the consumer must travel to consume at the place of production, the sudden interruption of national and international circulation has resulted in a stoppage of activity.

Thus, the loss of earnings is very significant, especially for countries like Tunisia where the activity has a considerable weignt in the economy and society. The south of Tunisie, markey by the predominance of mass seaside tourism, sees the need for a change in its functioning and the development of new forms of tourism as a strategy to substitute for mass tourism.

This article will study how tourism in Tunisie must experience a diversification of its offer in response to the crises of mass tourism and the urgency of taking into account ecology, local heritage and respect for society in tourism planning.
