Tourism in the city of Sousse, Tunisia: evolution, crisis and regenerative development

Mass seaside tourism in Sousse, Tunisia, has undergone significant transformation since the 1960s–70s, marked by crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The study reveals a shift from traditional coastal tourism to innovative forms like luxury urban and health tourism, alongside urban regeneration efforts. Initially driven by the El Kantaoui resort, which redefined Sousse's centrality, the sector now faces challenges that have spurred new development models. Researchers employed statistics and fieldwork to analyze these changes, highlighting how economic disruptions are reshaping Tunisia's coastal tourism landscape.
