Algeria disreputable destination for foreign tourists
The Algeria ranks fifth position of the most visited by foreign tourists in 2012 African countries, according to the latest statistics from the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) reported by Jeune Afrique. Political stability of the country, compared to neighboring countries, did not benefit to the sector.
With arrivals estimated at 2.3 million visitors, Algeria is widely anticipated by Egypt (11.2 million visitors), Morocco (9.4 million), South Africa (9.2 million ) and Tunisia (6 million). WTO points out that the entire African continent recorded a 6% increase in attendance. With 52 million visitors in 2012, Africa beyond the symbolic $ 50 million for the first time in its history, which allowed him to reap $ 34 billion in revenue, or 3% of the world total. Spared by the popular uprisings of the "Arab Spring", Algeria has not taken advantage of the political instability and violence that affects countries such as Egypt and Tunisia, two leading destinations of African tourism, to attract tourist flows.
Little infrastructure, poor quality of services
Despite a strong tourism potential, a diversified offer for all four seasons of the year and the dissipation of the security obsession that has long stuck to the country's image, Algeria attracted little and struggles to take off its tourism industry. Several factors explain the reluctance of foreign tourists to visit our country with, among others, the reception and quality of services is poor infrastructure deficit.
A fact confirmed by Tourism Minister Mohamed Benmeradi which stresses the urgency of establishing new infrastructure and upgrading the quality of services to attract more tourists finding. He also discussed the importance of putting in place a communication strategy to better "sell the image of Algeria internationally," although the outlines of that strategy have so far not yet disclosed. Algeria launched five years ago a director of tourism development scheme (SDAT) which runs until 2015 to try to revive the tourist machine, and achieve the goal of 2.5 million tourists and a contribution of 5% of this sector to the national GDP.
