I would like to thank you and all involved for organising our trip to Tunisia for the golf festival. I had a great trip and thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality shown by the Tunisian Tourist Board; and Tunisian people at Phenicia Hotel and at each of the golf courses (Citrus and Jasmine) we played.
The golf industry has potential to grow greatly in Tunisia from what I have seen and with good challenging golf courses and welcoming staff this should appeal hugely to potential golf enthusiasts looking to discover different golf courses and a new country.
