An abuse of the right to summer visit because of private beaches in Tunisia

In this period of summer visit the phenomenon of privatization and seizure of beaches by hotels became widespread .Employees armed with batons and whistles intend to keep visitors away under the pretext that these beaches are reserved to hotels’ residents.
Moreover there is chaotic erection of hotels’ huts and tents that obviously violate laws and customs adopted in the country. Local newspapers denounced these phenomena but officials denied the existence of private beaches in Tunisia. Note that of 81 spaces classified as tourist areas –according to statement of the ministry of tourism officials- there are 51 that the ministry rented to municipalities which in its turn hired them to tourist impresario and the rest are in the charge of the ministry which spends 500.000 dinars for their maintenance.
