image of 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.

Assessment and recommendations

Regulations aim to pursue legitimate policy objectives, but when they are overly restrictive or onerous, a comprehensive review can help identify problematic areas and develop alternatives that achieve such objectives without harming competition. This assessment identifies distortions of competition in Tunisian legislation. It proposes 351 specific recommendations for the removal of regulatory barriers to competition in the tourism sector. The benefits of removing these barriers will lead to increased market entry and facilitate business operations, bringing about lower prices, more innovative and diverse services, greater choice for consumers, and the ability to better meet wide‑ranging demand as new, more efficient enterprises enter the market and existing firms adopt more innovative forms of production and service delivery.
