Christmas markets are usually organized during the month of December. There are small shops with Christmas decorative items, regional or artisan products, small gifts and something to eat. It is often accompanied by lights and other entertainment such as street performances.

In Tunisia, the demonstrations are private initiatives that are multiplying and we cite as an example the association the “Voice of the Child” in Nabeul that offers decor products, floral arrangements, jewelry, chocolates, cakes, December 7, 2013 at the Aquarius Residence Tourist Road, Nabeul.

Last week it was the turn of the associations’ International Women’s Group “to organize Saf Saf, its market and local gourmet products, festive food and local crafts.

Christmas markets will have generalized a bit more in tourist areas of the country. The end of year celebrations are a small peak in the dead calm of tourism destination. They provide a little animation in cities as well as cash flow for operators that rely on tourism. By markets, entertainment supplement is guaranteed as long as the exposure of craft products and the Tunisian soil.

Ideally, markets should be generalized during Ramadan, and the Mouled during which are  proposed dolls of Nabeul. Regardless of the festivals, markets should also multiply by product and season like dates, citrus, distillation flowers …

Much used as pretexts to infuse animation, save the heritage value the heritage and ensure development
