Why do tourists go to Tunisia in this day and age? That’s just the height of stupidity. You have Spain, Italy, France, Croatia on the Adriatic, the Caribbean, millions of choices. Why go where they do this kind of thing?
North African destinations are cheap. European tourists go there on budget tours, especially the Brits, who are always trying to escape their miserable weather.
Most of those tourists were not very well off, and in some cases the entire family had chipped in to send them on the trip as an anniversary present or something like that. Poor things.
