Iberostar Expands Tunisia Portfolio
JULY 23, 2008. Iberostar Hotels & Resorts has increased its presence in Tunisia with the opening of its eleventh property in the country.
The four-star Iberostar Safira Palms, located in the beautiful area of Zarzis, sits opposite the island of Djerba in the south of Tunisia and cost EUR14 million. Heike Genshow Director of Marketing said, 'Tunisia is a great destination for the British traveller. Brits are looking for alternative destinations that give them the best value for money. A large percentage of our business comes from repeat visits because our customers know they can expect excellent value for money in destinations all over the world. I think the Safira Palms will be a popular choice for British holidaymakers who will be able to enjoy a top quality Tunisian experience at a price to suit their budget.'
The 300-room hotel has been specifically designed for families. As well as having a number of family rooms or two rooms with a connecting door, the hotel has an excellent range of activities and entertainment on offer for kids of all ages. The mini-club, is available for children aged between 4 and 12, and there is a kid's pool located in the beautiful gardens of the hotel.
While the children are being entertained, the parents can relax in the hamman and indulge in a stress-busting massage, enjoy the indoor and outdoor pools, or keep up their fitness regime by playing tennis, beach volleyball or watersports.
