The Tunisian Federation of Travel Agencies and Tourism (FTAV) today announced the signing with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) of a partnership agreement aimed at facilitating Tunisian travel agencies’ access to the IATA GoLite accreditation system.
The signing ceremony took place at the FTAV headquarters, in the presence of Mohamed Kadrouch, IATA’s regional director for North Africa.
Tunisia, fifth country worldwide to benefit from this agreement
According to the FTAV, Tunisia becomes the fifth country worldwide to benefit from this convention, intended to simplify the administrative procedures related to obtaining the IATA GoLite accreditation.
This scheme aims to facilitate travel agencies’ access to the international association’s accreditation system and to enable them to better access the opportunities offered by the air transport sector.
This convention is part of the efforts deployed by the FTAV to support its members and ease their procedures with international bodies in the sector.
Founded in 1945, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) represents, in 2026, more than 370 airlines from over 120 countries.
Its member airlines account for about 85% of global air traffic, according to data released by the FTAV.
Based in Montreal, Canada, IATA plays a central role in developing the standards and policies that govern the international air transport industry.
Through this agreement, the FTAV aims to strengthen its support for Tunisian travel agencies, notably by facilitating their access to international accreditation procedures.
The partnership with IATA thus aims to simplify access to the GoLite system, within the framework of the Federation’s initiatives to support its members and promote their integration into the international air transport circuits.
