Hi aussie and everyone , hope this opens your eyes to their acting Love relations in Tunisia
What is "Bezness"?

The term "Bezness" originates from the English word "business", and generally refers to profit-oriented activities of locals to tourists with the sole aim of creating advantages for one self. In a narrower sense, the term is used for the pretention of love feelings toward women with the sole objective of gaining financial or material benefits or a residence permit in Europe.

The Beznesser

The mein difference between a "Beznesser" and a "Papagallo" is the fact that he is not just into an amoreuse adventure for the holidays, but he uses this only as the first step of his project.

There are many stages and forms between a serious and a Bezness lover, and in Tunisia, one can rarely find a "pure" representative of either kind - but one thing is certain: men who work in the tourist industry and are eager to contact tourists, almost always belong to the group "Beznesser".

The AMIGA

But - to reach his goal, a "Beznesser" always needs a counterpart, and this counterpart is in almost all cases a European woman who suffers from the so-called AMIGA syndrome. The word AMIGA is a world game from the german sentence "Aber Meiner Ist Ganz Anders" (But my guy is not like the others).

Despite the high probability of a woman running into a "Bezness" man, which is, very conservatively estimated, about 90%, the woman seals in almost all cases their eyes to reality and takes refuge in the above-mentioned conviction that "The other men may be so, but mine is certainly very different."

The fact is, however, that many short term relationships and most of the medium ones will fail in the long term - and this for reasons in addition to the ones, from which marriages between couples from the same county are failing.

Why "Bezness"

Tunisia is one hand a poor country where the minimum wage, which most working professionals receive, is less than 200 Euro / month.

Tunisia is also a country that does not provide an awful lot of jobs - the unemployment figures are, according to official figures around 10%, and according to strict standards rather in the area of 30%.

And finally, Tunisia is a country where the citizens cannot simply "go away", but they will need for all European countries a visa.

But Tunisia is, as well, a country that is directly adjacent to Europe and each year, hundreds of thousands of tourists visit the country.

On almost each house roof is a satellite dish mounted which deliver television programs from many countries tothe Tunisian screens. So, they watch the reports of the life in Europe and generally the "West" and the tourists show them their supposed wealth by the fact that they can afford to fly to Tunisia to spend a vacation - not to mention new mobile phones, clothes and conduct, by Tunisian standards, a generous use of tips or gifts.

Thus, it is not surprising that the aim of many Tunisians is, to go to the "Golden West", find work and become rich. To find work, which will allow them to live a good life, to support their family with money and to build up a house or business.

Some Tunisians try, like the inhabitants of the more southerly states in Africa, to illegally cross the borders to Eropean countries with vessels, but such a trip is expensive and dangerous, and even if they succeed, they will have live illegal in Europe.

Others try to obtain a working visa for Europe, but on the one hand, there are hardly any job vacancies in Europe for non-Europeans (or even for Europeans for that matter) and on the other hand, it is difficult to even find such a job out of Tunisia.

So, the only realistic option that many Tunisians see for themselves, is a marriage with a European citizen, the equivalent for a ticket into the "Golden West". And they are ready to do almost anything to get it.

The Prey Scheme

The simpliest thing is to get into "Contact" with a European tourist The easiest way is, of course, to obtain a job in the tourist industry, especially in the animation or restauration area in an hotel.

But even if such a position can not be obtained, the chances are quite good to attract the attention of a European women on the street, in a shop, a taxi or a discotheque.

Generally, they are 3 target groups:

- single, young and well situated women
- single elderly women
- all other women

and the objectives are, in this order:

- Visa to Europe
- Financial donations
- Sex fun

In line with these objectives, the usual steps are:

In all cases, the immediate talk of marriage, in many cases, the demand for money or donations - outspoken or expected.
If the Bezness man got a "victim" which has only little or no money, then it is also not a real problem, because every day will new tourists arrive at the airport.
They won't let go of what they have obtained and will continue to develop a relation, even if it is a parallel second-, third-or fourth relationship, because even when it does not yield a marriage and a visa, there lures but still the prospect of sex and financial benefits of smaller nature - the payment of taxi fares and some disco visits, for example. And - who knows, maybe one need only to give it some more time and it will turn out well anyway.

A typical characteristic of all such relationships is therefore, that they never abandoned or forgotten - even after months and sometimes years, they might decide to follow up on an "old" affair. As long as the relationship is still "hot" and are fresh though, there will be fireworks of telephone and SMS -contacts.

In such relationships, the ultimate winner will be the person that manages it the fastest to marry and to present a visa to Europe, and, ideally, pay all the celebrations and ticket costs as well.
