The Specialists in Cultural/Historical Travel, Trade Delegations, and Citizen Diplomacy.
TunisUSA is a tour company that specializes in cultural/historical tourism. The company was founded in 1993 by Jerry Sorkin, a specialist in Middle East and North African affairs. Headquartered in the Philadelphia area (Wayne, PA) with an office in Tunis, Tunisia, where all logistical aspects of domestic transport, billing and administration activities take place, TunisUSA also has operations in Turkey, Iran, Malta, the U.A.E., India and Libya. Additional alliances are found in other areas of the Middle East. (NOTE: Operations with Libya are on hold until Libya’s visa policy, which presently bans American tourists, is resolved.)
The growth of TunisUSA is partially guided by the philosophy of the founder, that TunisUSA should be a specialist in countries, regions or topics that allow the firm to bring operational and personal experience to all programs. Rather than be involved in an abundance of countries, the firm’s strategy is to provide more expertise and in-depth specialization where it can provide particular advantages for the firm’s clients. With a “rolodex” of contacts in the countries they serve, TunisUSA is able to provide added value in people-to-people encounters, providing an enriched component to its tours.
TunisUSA organizes scheduled, small group tours under the banner of TunisUSA, as well as private tours. In addition, TunisUSA frequently partners with non-profit organizations and affinity groups, university student and alumni travel departments, as well as serving as the Tunisian ground support for other American based tour companies marketing Tunisia.
