Kerkennah: Pending Founkhal
All is not well in oil. Its discovery in Kerkennah could threaten tourism development, starting with the future ecological station under Founkhal.
AFT has launched an international call for expressions of interest for the realization of ecological tourist resort of Sidi Founkhal. A draft 3000 beds waiting to emerge from two decades already, and bringing all this time the hopes of the people of Kerkennah for a smooth development of the islands tourism.
Pending the arrival of investors in tourism, Kerkennahs saw coming a different type of investors: oil and gas company OMV and Petrofac. But the discovery of oil in various parts of the island seems to have some threats, including the current tourist area of Sidi Frej.
Indeed, in addition to its four exploration platforms visible to the naked off this tourist area eye, the Austrian company OMV associated with Tunisian GST is authorized to occupy his boats a pier that was used previously to accommodate yachts of vacationers (photo). Nuisance, visual and audible, caused by these vessels would hesitate tour operators attempted to market the hotels in the resort. In any case that supports Kannou Lotfi, head of the Residence Club, which denounces "the installation of an industrial activity in the tourist area."
