Development of cultural tourism in the Medina of Tunis
 
 

The Medina of Tunis is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site and holds a vast architectural, cultural and social heritage. Tourist visits however are confined to just a few main commercial streets with visits to the Medina being seen as just a short stop on circuits proposed by tour operators. In order to develop cultural tourism in the Medina, you will work on the identification of discovery routes in the Medina which highlight the way of life of locals and the socio-economic activities that go on there. You will propose supports such as guides, signposting, and information panels.

This campus is supported by the Regional Council of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur and the Departmental Council of Bouches-du-Rhône in framework of the cooperation with the Tunis gouvernorat.

Architecture, tourism, heritage/history of art, communication, design.
