Tourism in Tunisia
? Only for the brave: "Tunisia has weathered riots, curfews, a state of emergency and ongoing unrest as it undergoes its historic 'Jasmine Revolution': but that has not stopped a few hardy tourists from flocking to its sunny shores.Indeed, the heady events propelled French speech therapist Francois Huet to grab round-trip tickets for a two-day trip to Tunis 'for tourism but also to live history.'
'My heart was beating hard every day during the standoff with Ben Ali, and there was one moment I decided to go,' said 49-year-old Huet of the popular uprising that ultimately ousted longtime strongman Zine El Abidine Ben Ali on January 14.
'It’s admirable what the people have done. I came to tell them I found them courageous.'"
