Congress And Conference Tourism As A Catalyst For Tourism Development In Algeria

Abstract

This study examines the contribution of meetings and conference tourism to the development of the tourism sector in Algeria, with a particular focus on the International Conference Center (CIC) in Algiers. Adopting a case study approach, the research draws on both observation and structured interviews. The first section outlines the study’s context and methodology, while the second presents and analyzes the collected data, underscoring the significance of meetings and conference tourism in diversifying Algeria’s economy. The findings highlight this sector’s potential to serve as an alternative to traditional revenue sources, such as oil, and emphasize the necessity of strategic investment to fully harness its benefits.
