Tunisia welcomes back tourists after pandemic lockdown

Tourists are back on Tunisia's beaches after charter flights resumed to the North African country following a break of more than three months due to the coronavirus pandemic. Some 155 mask-clad holiday makers from France, Germany and Luxembourg were greeted late last week on the resort island of Djerba with temperature checks -- but also by hostesses offering them bouquets of jasmine. 'We can't save the whole season, but we will do everything we can to save part of it,' said Tourism Minister Mohamed Ali Toumi, who was at the airport to welcome the Luxair flight.
