Tunisia is open to leisure tourism and international arrivals are clearly active, with strong 2025–2026 visitor and revenue numbers. The main downsides right now are security-related: terrorism risk, periodic protests, and extra caution needed near border and desert areas. Most visitors can still travel normally to resort and major urban areas, but the experience is more uneven than in lower-risk destinations.
