Tunisia is open to leisure tourism and visitor numbers are still rising. The main traveler issues are security caution, occasional protests/strikes, and localized weather disruption rather than any nationwide conflict or closure. Payment and border procedures can be a bit stricter than in some destinations, but normal tourism is clearly continuing.
