Tourism in Algeria
The tragic events of the early 1990s delayed infrastructure development and discouraged many tourists staying there. However, the trend tends to inverser4 with a return of foreigners, especially tourism affinity from France. We note, for example, a 20% increase in tourism between 2000 and 2005.
The main competitors are the Mediterranean countries the majority of which has developed strongly in this sector5 based economy.
Tourism policy of the state

A Quality Plan Tourism Algeria was adopted by the government but by the end of 2010, only 10% of tourist facilities in Algeria have joined the program. Investors are interested in the potential of the country and the highest authorities as the representative of the Secretary General of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), Frédéric Perret, said at the conference of the International Exhibition of Tourism and Travel light in Algeria in 2010, the Algerian tourism sector has great potential thanks to "its Mediterranean beaches, the fascinating national Park Djurdjuran, its human treasures, culture and history."
