OECD Competition Assessment Reviews: Tunisia 2023
This review analyses regulatory barriers to competition in the tourism sector in Tunisia, with the goal of helping Tunisian authorities mitigate harm to competition and foster long-lasting growth. This report is based on a competition assessment conducted by the OECD identifying rules and regulations that may hinder the competitive and efficient functioning of markets in the tourism activities under review. This review also includes estimates of how the implementation of certain recommendations could impact the economy. This is the second competition assessment review conducted by the OECD in Tunisia, after a 2019 review of the freight transport sector and of the wholesale and retail trade sectors.

Horizontal barriers and administrative burdens
Several regulations applicable to all tourism-related activities pose challenges to competition in Tunisia. This chapter will focus on horizontal legal provisions that cut across the various tourism activities analysed in the previous chapters. These norms are related to regulatory quality and enforcement, investment licensing procedures, and restrictions on foreign firms’ operations in the country. The chapter makes recommendations for reform.
