Rezidor - now part of the US-based Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group - has confirmed plans to open its fourth hotel in Tunisia with the Park Inn by Radisson Sousse in autumn 2013.

The property is currently undergoing an extensive renovation before it joins the Park Inn by Radisson portfolio, with facilities to include three restaurants and extensive meeting space.

Following the hotel's relaunch, it will also incorporate more than 2,000sq m (21,528sq ft) of thalassotherapy and spa facilities. Further details, however, are yet to be confirmed.

Kurt Ritter, president and CEO of Rezidor, said: "We strongly believe in the Tunisian market, and aim to support the tourism sector that is stabilising again after the Arab Spring.

Rezidor already operates Radisson Blu and Park Inn-branded properties in Djerba, with the new Sousse hotel to join another Park Inn by Radisson development in Hammamet.
