Executive summary
Increased Tourism in Algeria
The lack of travellers to Algeria, compared to neighbouring countries such as Tunisia and Morocco, is an indication of the country's long neglect of an industry that can offer one of the world's undiscovered tourist gems. Despite Algeria being the Mediterranean country with the second lowest contribution from tourism to GDP, in general the country enjoyed a healthy performance over the review period, reflecting the combined efforts of both the government and the private sector in developing the country's infrastructure and focusing on product diversification.
From Oil to Tourism
The travel and tourism industry is still developing in Algeria since in the past the focus has been on the oil and gas industry. However, the government is currently looking to develop the country's travel and tourism industry, with a particular emphasis on Saharan and cultural tourism.
Over the last two years, Algiers has reformed its legislation to ease foreign and local investment in the tourism industry. French investment in the industry is rapidly increasing and there is even a French discount airliner, Aigle Azur, flying non-stop from several cities in France to Djanet and Tamanrasset and to coastal cities like Algiers, Oran and Annaba. The Algerian government considers the country's tourism its second key resource after oil.
Terrorism
While the warfare between Islamists and the government ended several years ago, Algiers has yet to gain full control of its vast southern desert. Al-Qaeda-affiliated groups are operating along the southern border. Still, the threat from terrorism in many areas of the country continues to pose a significant security risk. Since early 2007 the use of vehicle suicide bomb attacks has emerged as a terrorist tactic in Algeria, including the September 2007 bomb attacks in Bouira, Dellys and Batna where dozens of people were killed, including foreign nationals. Further attacks took place in December 2007, targeting the UN headquarters and the Algerian Constitutional Council in Algiers. In January 2008 more people were killed in a police station in Thenia, and another attack took place outside the regional headquarters of Naciria the same month.
Generally, however, the security situation has improved considerably in Algeria. In the opinion of Mr Baardseth, it is now safe enough to participate in organised tours in the country. This is also the message that the Algerian authorities want to communicate, as the general image of the country abroad is still one of violence and terror.
Nonetheless not everyone agrees with these positive security assessments. The US State Department and the British Foreign Office still advise its citizens against travelling to Algeria.
Tourism Expected to Show Positive Growth Over the Forecast Period
Due to economic growth and heavy government investment in tourism, it is expected that travel and tourism will show a positive performance over the forecast period. Future expectations are positive for Algeria as the country is investing in new products and opening up access to new markets.
