The rental market in Tunisia is very strong due to the high domestic demand for rental accommodation in addition to the demand from Europe and Tunisia’s neighbours Algeria and Libya. Furthermore, due to the country’s location, Tunisia benefits from all year sunshine ensuring the rental season is much longer than in Europe. In fact, over the past years temperatures in early spring have been recorded as high as 40 degrees Celsius, however most of the time they are in the region of 25C to 35C.

Having the highest home-ownership rate in Africa and certainly one of the highest in the world, Tunisia is a middle-income country which has outperformed most of its African neighbours both in terms of economic growth and political stability. As a result of their relative wealth, the Tunisian people are able to take frequent holidays in the most popular regions of Tunisia such as Sousse and Hammamet boosting the demand of the rental market.

Tunisia’s larger neighbours, Libya and Algeria do not offer tourist facilities, resorts or hotels anywhere near the scale that Tunisia does, and as a result many Libyan and Algerian nationals tend to take their holidays in Tunisia boosting the demand for rental properties even higher.

Last, but not least, we have the European contingent of holiday makers who arrive in Tunisia in their millions each year looking for a warm, sunny climate to spend their holidays. Being less than 3 hours from the UK and most of Europe, Tunisia offers something new and exciting for everyone and has been an established tourist destination with Europeansover the past 2 to 3 decades.

Generally, tourists who visit Tunisia tend to come back year on year, and those on their return trips will prefer to rent accommodation giving them more flexibility than a hotel does. As a result, there is considerable demand for rental properties all year round. In the summer, couples and families with younger children tend to visit the country whereas in the winter we see a lot of retirees and Golfers in particular. Whatever they
are looking for, Tunisia offers it all!
