The conference will be held at ROYAL KENZ, a 4 stars hotel in the beautiful city Sousse often called "the Peral of the Sahel". Situated in the seaside resort of Port El Kantaoui, near Sousse, the Royal Kenz Hotel Thalasso & Spa is located just 200 meters from a white sandy beach, a 400-meter walk to the private beach area, and approximately 3 km from Port El Kantaoui Marina and 8 km from the historic Medina of Sousse. The hotel lies on Tunisia's central-east coast, an area renowned for its rich history and Mediterranean charm. The property is adjacent to a golf course and provides convenient access to local attractions like Hannibal Park, Acqua Palace Water Park, and nearby beaches.
Sousse was founded by the Phoenicians in the ninth century BC. Since then, it has served as an essential center for trade and culture. Its medieval Medina, which represents a UNESCO World Heritage site, reflects centuries of Islamic and Mediterranean history with its ancient defensive walls, winding lanes, and important sites like the Great Mosque and the Ribat fortification.
Sousse now presents a thriving modern city and a top tourist attraction, with stunning golden beaches, a vibrant nightlife, and a vibrant local culture characterized by vibrant souks, Mediterranean food, and many festivals. Sectors such as tourism, agriculture , textiles, and trade all contribute to its economy, making it one of Tunisia's most significant cities in terms of culture, history, and economy. Sousse offers a unique experience that embodies Tunisia's seaside appeal, whether you choose to explore its historic sights or just unwind by the sea.
