Tunisia is considered one of the most liberal countries in the Arab world, but many women struggle to find good jobs in the tourism sector: only some ten to thirty percent of tourism employees in Tunisia are women, compared to around sixty percent of the sector’s employees globally.

In addition, women often face limited opportunities for promotion in their jobs due to inadequate training. The result is that their salaries remain low, even though they often have families to support.

The goal of this project is to support students from the hotel school Maghrébin Institut de Management et de Tourisme to do internships in a hotel in Hammamet. A three month internship is a mandatory part of tourism education but is not accessible to all. With a scholarship, girls will have the opportunity to complete their education and improve their chances of building a successful career in the Tunisian tourism sector.
