Les Oliviers D’hannibal Au Sahel Tunisien Un Filon D’avenir Du Tourisme Agricole
الكاتب : Adel Njim .
الملخص
Recent discovery in the Sahel at multiple locations of olive trees with huge trunk that proves their ancient age. My investigations allowed me to put these olive trees with a literary testimony to which little attention has been paid to the olive trees planted by the Punic general Hannibal throughout the Sahel region. This discovery confirms that this textual testimony is not myth. These plantations would be the tiny part of the very complex Carthaginian system. It has an original military and security aspect related to the system of Phoinikoi Tapoi literally Phoenician Fosses that pass more to the west of the Sahel. These multiple farms also reveal a demographic aspect by fixing farmers on the margins of the territories of a large city such as Hadrumète. Apart from the very important scientific aspect. All these unusual data on the character of Hannibal famous only for its military facts and on the olive tree, the main ingredient of Punic agriculture, represent a rather interesting potential for launching a very flourishing agricultural tourism activity. Thanks to these plantations one could mediate a new image of the Punic general. It is also possible to restore the entire oil-related agricultural production chain and its marketing. This sector is becoming more and more popular in the world. His hopes for success are assured. Indeed, the Tunisian agricultural heritage offers rich potential for the development of a tourism activity linked to the agricultural heritage. This recent discovery of Punic archeology in the Tunisian Sahel of olive plantations that would be the work of General Hannibal and his army can easily be at the origin of an original activity of agricultural tourism. The target audience can be adults who are eager for entertainment only. We can also target young people through these activities. Didactic content will be addressed to middle school students which can encourage future vocations among them. This discovery is then a chance to ensure the diversification of the Tunisian tourist product and get out of monolithism. It can be the nucleus of a promising cultural tourism project, especially since the Sahel has been linked since antiquity to the olive tree. Tunisian classical tourism focused mainly on seaside activities is increasingly in crisis. This fundamental sector of activity in the Tunisian economic system is looking for diversification and originality. One of the resources questioned is that of the historical and archaeological heritage of Tunisia. Indeed this heritage is particularly rich. It is increasingly the driving force behind a multi-activity entertainment sector represented by cultural tourism with its various ramifications including agricultural tourism. This relatively new tourist branch is in full swing and its development possibilities are enormous.
