Algeria’s Path To Sustainable Tourism Development

Abstract

Tourism is a critical sector for economic diversification, environmental conservation, and cultural exchange. This paper examines Algeria's performance in the 2024 Travel & Tourism Development Index (TTDI), with a special focus on Travel & Tourism Sustainability. Algeria ranks 98th globally, showing modest progress in environmental and socioeconomic impact but faces challenges with sustainable tourism demand and infrastructure gaps. Through an in-depth examination of Algeria’s sustainability performance and comparison with regional peers Tunisia and Morocco, the study offers insights into policies needed to promote sustainable growth. Recommendations include promoting green tourism, improving accessibility, and leveraging ecotourism to establish Algeria as a resilient tourism destination.
