A very important event for the entire tourism sector of the country was held in Tunisia on November 2, 2023. It was Tunisia MICE Day whose participants included the state officials, representatives of the country’s tourism industry, as well as specialists of international travel companies who have MICE tourism among their professional interests.
The independent jury of Tunisia MICE Day started drawing up the list of nominees for Tunisia MICE Awards back in July. 15 winners were chosen out of 40 nominees, so they had their stands on the trade show. The strict selection criteria were maximum compliance with the standards of business and corporate MICE tourism and the availability of all necessary resources for the implementation of various programs in this field of the industry.
We’re proud that companies which are structural subdivisions of Carthage Group were deservedly and rightfully chosen to be exhibitors on Tunisia MICE Day and hosts of workshops, professional master classes for attendees of the event. One of such companies was Carthage Travel & Events, which is an online travel agency that offers a large number of hotels in Tunisia and is integrated with the leading global travel marketplaces. Another exhibitor was Carthage Tourism & MICE, a DMC in Tunisia for tour operators from France, Belgium, Germany, Great Britain, Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, Serbia, Georgia, Armenia and other countries.

B2B trips are often a perfect choice for developing partnerships and strengthening business positions, improving the image of companies and team building. Business and corporate MICE tourism is actively developing, gaining more popularity day by day and becoming trendy. Among the guests and participants of Tunisia MICE Day were journalists specializing in covering important aspect of social life, companies that are involved in organization of MICE events, hotels which have necessary infrastructure for hosting business travelers (for example, specially equipped conference halls and meeting rooms), as well as public catering enterprises that are ready to serve large groups of business travelers.
