Minister of Tourism and Handicrafts, Mohamed Moez Belhassine, reviewed on Saturday the measures taken during the ministerial working sessions held in June and July. The main objective of these measures was to strengthen the handicraft sector and to establish a dedicated Destination Management Organisation (DMO) to promote tourism in the Sahara.
Chairing the local tourism council in Tataouine, Belhassine stressed that this organisation will oversee the restructuring and promotion of this industry through a public-private partnership.
"We are committed to establishing responsible and sustainable tourism in the Sahara," he said, stressing the need for greater coordination between the various stakeholders involved in the project's implementation. They also called for an increase in the resources allocated by the Ministry to tourist municipalities to enable them to fulfil their role in promoting tourism.
