Carthage was once one of the prominent Mediterranean superpowers. Today it’s still a municipality in the conurbation of Tunis, the capital of Tunisia, and is where the presidential palatial buildings are located. But historically Carthage was much more vast covering this entire region of North Africa and even demarcating the southeastern region of the Iberian peninsula. (which is where present day Spain is)

For the purposes of economic development, which includes generating more tourist activities, the Country of Tunisia should formally demarcate and label the region from the municipality of Gammarth along the coast east and south all the way to La Goulette as the Coast of Carthage. It will then be proper for any residences, hotels, restaurants, and the like, to refer to their locations as being within the Coast of Carthage. Progressive economic development activities should continue in this region which should have a reasonable waterfall effect more broadly on Tunisia.

The areas / municipalities that should be in the Coast of Carthage are (west to east): Gammarth, La Marsa, Sidi Dhrif, Sidi Bou Saïd, La Goulette, and any other area of municipality or rural area not in this list but naturally situated along this littoral area.
