TUI Futureshapers Tunisia trains 60 female mentors, enabling them to deliver mentoring sessions and empower over 500 women to excel in the dynamic tourism sector
Despite its strong education system, a lack of knowledge and life skills about which career to pursue means that unemployment in Tunisia is high, especially among female graduates. Additionally, and although Tunisia has implemented significant changes in its constitutional, legislative, and policy framework to promote gender equality and eliminate gender-based discrimination, the labour market doesn’t yet reflect this, and women still only constitute a quarter of the workforce, facing an unemployment rate that is twice that of men.
The TUI Futureshapers programme in Tunisia aims to counter this by building the capacity of 60 female peer mentors, enabling them to deliver mentoring sessions to their peers and resulting in more than 500 young Tunisian females, aged between 18 – 28, becoming engaged in quality learning, employability and healthy lifestyles.
This peer-to-peer model implements a variety of mentorship activities to ease the transition to work for women, increase academic retention and empower them to make informed career decisions. Extensive mentoring will improve employability by building the necessary skills and work experience that allow women to succeed in a job and advance their careers. It also supports them in further developing the soft skills necessary for successful employment.
In addition to the peer-to-peer mentoring, participants will gain access to a series of online webinars led by well-established entrepreneurs, covering topics such as business model creation, marketing strategies, idea pitching and tourism innovation.

Each one of us is capable of becoming a mentor and creating positive change in the lives of many young people, and together we can deliver a message filled with hope, creativity and determination for improving the present and creating a better future’’.

This competition will be the pinnacle of the programme, with participants pitching their projects to a distinguished panel of judges. Winners will not only receive recognition for their

After scoring tickets to see Madonna at American Airlines Center last month, my two friends and I decided to spend a long weekend in Dallas – a city none of us had visited since before the pandemic and one that we were eager to get back to after learning it has the largest contiguous arts district in the country and the most buildings designed by Pritzker Architecture Award winners.

Welcome to Santa Barbara, where the sun, sea, and mountains create a coastal paradise like no other. The Chumash people initially inhabited the town for thousands of years before Spanish explorers arrived in the 16th century. Today, Santa Barbara still reflects its Spanish colonial heritage with Mediterranean-style buildings and red-tile roofs, which perfectly complement the natural backdrop of the San Ynez Mountains.
In the early 1900s, Anaheim, California, was a rural community with endless rows of orange groves. Of course, that all changed when Disneyland opened July 17, 1955, and transformed the town into one of the world's most well-known tourist destinations.
California recently branded itself as the “Ultimate Playground.” That was a pivot away from “Dream Big,” the branding it used for over a decade.
