Under-served freight opportunities and other economic impact factors

It’s not all about tourism: The opening of Enfidha airport, in partnership with private investment from TAV, was a core component of the Enfidha zone of economic and logistics plan. In the next phase the government now plans to dig the Enfidha deep water port – further catapulting the regiona forward within President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali’s "Tomorrow’s Tunisia” development programme.

With its state-of-the-art facilities and futuristic design, Enfidha International Airport (NBE) will enable Tunisia’s ambition to become a regional centre of international trade and services, allowing stronger integration into the world economy. It will also facilitate an improved regional balance with an industrial park; deep sea port and new soon to be built tourist area in Hergia.
