With great pride and heartfelt joy the long term President of Fijet always welcomed us to Tunisia — a land where history whispers through ancient ruins, where the Mediterranean breeze carries the scent of jasmine, and where the warmth of people is as enduring as the sun that shines upon tunisian shores.
So, Tunisia is more than a destination for Executive Committee members. It is a bridge between all of us and friendships are forged.
During our stay, we explored a rich heritage and natural beauty, tasted, worked and listened and felt a long connection specially at President Birthday Party with his family and guests whose whose hospitality is not a formality, but a way of life.
During our stay, The Minister of Tourism Tunisia, Mr.Soufiane Tekaya granted an audience to Fijet Executive Committee leaded by the President Tijani Haddad, one of the former Ministers of Tourism in Tunisia.
