answer text <p>We are increasing our support, both to help build Tunisia's capacity to deal with the terrorist threat and to help the country develop its economy, through the North Africa Good Governance Fund. UK support for Tunisia has more than doubled since 2014-15, and this coming financial year will exceed £12 million.</p><p>On 26 July 2017 we changed our travel advice for Tunisia and no longer advise against all but essential travel for most of the country, including the interior of Tunisia. However, we continue to advise against all travel to areas such as the closed military zones in the south and west of the country, and the Libyan border. This does not mean that there are no risks to British nationals visiting other parts of Tunisia. Anyone considering travel to Tunisia should consult the relevant Foreign and Commonwealth Office Travel Advice, which has further information including on the security situation.</p> more like this
