TUNIS - About 45 hotels have been affected in Tunisia after the collapse of Thomas Cook, and the government will help the hotels with soft loans, Tunisia’s tourism minister said on Tuesday.
Tourism is a vital sector of Tunisia’s economy and a key source of foreign exchange earnings. It accounts for around 8% of economic output and employs 400,000 people. Thomas Cook owes Tunisian hotels 60 million euros for stays in July and August, Tourism Minister Rene Trabelsi told Reuters earlier on Monday.
He said that the British government has pledged to pay Thomas Cook’s debt but had not set a fixed term.“We have a proposal to open a line of financing of the affected hotels...we will call for ministerial council to study how we can help them,” Trabelsi said.
