Is there a tourist tax in Tunisia?

Tunisia is one of the most visited African countries. In 2017, the Tunisian government decided to introduce a tourist tax, and since Djerba is administratively part of the country, any tourist visiting the island must expect to pay a special tax. Prices in Tunisia are therefore increased by an additional tourist tax, the amount of which is related to the standard of the hotel.
