Algeria has launched a large project to restore 249 historical sites, as part of its efforts to attract investors and tourists to the country.
To date, work has been completed in about 70 sites, while restoration plans for 50 additional sites are currently being implemented, which also includes expansion operations at the sites.
Algeria, the largest country in Africa, is home to a variety of Islamic and Roman sites, as well as beaches and mountains located just an hour’s flight from Europe.
The country is characterized by its charming desert landscape, where visitors can sleep on the sand dunes, enjoy a sky sparkling with stars, and ride camels accompanied by Tuareg Bedouins.
Despite these efforts, Algeria still faces major challenges in tourism infrastructure, which was pointed out by visitors such as 70-year-old French tourist Patrick Lobo when he said: “It is clear that there is a lot of tourism potential, and a lot of work needs to be done.” They work to attract us, there is a real desire to receive us, and the welcome is always very warm.”
French tourist Patrick Smith, 69 years old, said: “There is interest, but there are still wrong perceptions and prejudices that must be overcome and abandoned. But we see from the quality of the welcome and the goodwill of the people who receive us in hotels and restaurants that there is a desire, despite the lack of… There is adequate support.”
For her part, the French tourist Garcia expressed her admiration for Algeria’s tourism potential and said: “Algeria has extraordinary potential. We must develop it and show everything that Algeria has. It is wonderful, especially Oran, this beautiful city with art and decoration. It is impressive and it is a living city.” “We love this city.”
As part of the government’s plan to develop the tourism sector and attract more foreign tourists, Algiers hosted the International Tourism and Travel Salon from May 30 to June 2, and this event is a platform to bring together stakeholders and specialists to discuss Algeria’s tourism strategy.
The Director General of the National Tourism Office, Saliha Nasser Bey, presented investment plans to attract 12 million tourists by 2030.
Bay stated: “In its strategy, Algeria seeks to attract 12 million tourists by 2030, and for this purpose, we, as the tourism and traditional industry sector, seek to encourage investment, provide facilities to investors, and also build tourist and hotel facilities, and rehabilitate and modernize the hotels owned by the sector.”
