Algerian Desert Tourism As A Mechanism To Support Sustainable Growth

Abstract

Due to the great importance that the tourism sector plays in the economy, considered it as an important source of income and stimulating investment, in addition to creating job opportunities and achieving sustainable development, the issue of interest in developing and exploiting this sector is considered necessary. Beni Abbes, “the White Oasis,” is considered one of the best tourist attractions in the Algerian desert, with its famous heritage dating back to prehistoric times. The region also offers several tourist activities, such as sand skiing and climbing the “Arj” peak to enjoy the sunset and sunrise....However, despite these high-end tourism advantages, the region did not live up to the required level. In this context, we will highlight some of the mechanisms that might be helpful in making the region a tourist destination par excellence that will benefit the region locally and nationally, especially since it is a modern state and is considered an economic takeoff site.
