On December 20, Tourism minister Ren\u00e9 Trabelsi had already announced that Tunisia had met the <a href=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/tunisia-welcomed-over-9-million-tourists-in-2019\/\">9-million-tourist<\/a> goal set for 2019.<\/p>\n<p>According to <em>TAP<\/em>, the growth was driven by a 15.9% increase in the number of European tourists, which reached 2.8 million. And visitors from other Maghreb countries climbed by 15.5%, to 4.9 million.<\/p>\n<p>The Arab Maghreb is made up by Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Libya and Mauritania.
