Algeria is a tourist country without tourists

Reflects the fact that hotel services and monitored by the fact that the reception time, perceived by officials, including the Minister of Tourism, but refuse to permit them,

Namely, that does not exist for the promotion of tourism and service worthy of the national tourist, the situation let alone a foreigner, who torment begins a journey to get to Algeria,

The start of the visa application file, to keep the reality of tourism in Algeria, a far cry from the demand, causing the deficit to alienate everyone

To Tunisia, Turkey, Morocco and Greece, and is certain that you will not stumble on the name of Algeria in this long list.

 Foreigners do not know, but very little about our country. After her name was synonymous with the news of the death of more than a decimal, took riders Boats death dreamers to reach the other bank, transfer bleak picture of the country issued his sons feast hearty Mediterranean fish, is no longer the image of the charming shores place in the imagination of those.

And shortages worse, it is assumed that their role is to polish this bleak picture, and the promotion of tourism in the country, resigned from their mission and did not learn even a few neighbors Tunisia and Morocco experiments, at least, where the organizers of the tourism which competes each season to launch promotional campaigns outside border, to attract tourists and organizing trips for journalists to identify the components of their country's tourism, with the reduction in airfares, while this strategy remains a far cry from those who think the sector in our country.

Beginning with Visa

If we passed this and wanted to "destiny" that is appointed someone to Algeria in the map, or heard about from a friend led him working conditions to stay in Algeria, or told him about Algerian immigrant, and decided to decamp to it, it is another interview, Suffering start of the visa application file.

Yes, Felttab same dreamers visa "Schengen", Algerians are not the only ones who suffer two to collect the "Visa", a foreigner, Lucky Pavtkak visa to Algeria also be "surrounded their legs back and forth" on the headquarters distributed throughout the world consulates, because of the length of the procedures and complexity, and may reach to three months and then refuse to file, like a message for us poor even to reconsider their positions thousand times before making travel to Algeria step.

Airport or military barracks

If passed tourist assumed this stage in peace, then think of visa truncated to Air Algerie, Satfajo that their prices are the most expensive, even compared to neighboring Tunisia and Morocco, for services is not superior to the rest of the airlines, but the level of service last interview is emotional not afford " place "to fight it.

Once the land the plane at the airport, think the newcomer to the country that he had erred address to a military barracks, because of the "landing" the big owners blue suit to secure Vdhaih, but this is the large presence does not enhance the feeling of security and foreign have, as far as consolidates has a premonition insecurity, as if ensuring security must be seen with the naked eye. The biggest airports around the world, which attracts millions of travelers, and always Ready to face any terrorist threat, the traveler does not pay attention to the presence of security agents.

And access to the windows border police, and other suffering begins with the wait, which sometimes exceed an hour of time. Although there are a sufficient number of windows, but they are not taking advantage of all of them do not operate at the same time to "redeem" the suffering of travelers wait.

After the end of all this, he has to looking for a place related to him, and in vain by the search for the chamber of my phone, it has become for us from the past, for the foreign acquisition of a slide mobile phone, here are our friend may suffer from another problem, because it will recognize the new term, Vhbh definite need to re-encrypt the phone to become usable.

After that solves this problem, he has to think of a way to leave the airport, he is lucky if he had already agreed with someone to say, otherwise it will find itself prey to the greed of a car "Alklondestan" drivers who crowding taxi drivers, Vistqublouna waving Bmfatyham. But chose to ride in the taxi legal, also collide with the "Contour" is ergonomics, and that the pricing of passenger calculated "Cours," and has no choice but to ride in front of the absence of alternative, there is no subway and tramway not train in place, unlike the rest of the Airports globe.

And leave the airport, the traffic in front of the barrier and the barrier, or rather the barriers to the police before reaching the heart of the capital, said this was part of Algiers. It is not much different if the destination is not so, which enhances the security fear that stop him at the airport.

Lucky if any bath

Upon reaching the hotel, and most of them far from the city center, collides with our guest the level of services provided in said to be classified as four or five stars, not "3G" that have preceded us to Somalia, with respect to this African country, and high Internet flow, hotels not to mention the absence of the simplest services that are supposed to provide these hotels Ksrv currency. But if you stayed in a hotel in the center of the capital, there is no problem, vastness Port Said suffice if he has the courage to go to it.

Speaking of Port Said Square, I am reminded of an Italian tourist experience heard on the lips of a colleague of mine, and it was the Italian has stayed as a guest at a friend of his works in the Italian company in the south, he chose to stop in the capital for days before they pull the traveler to the desert.

But he wanted to walk around in the largest streets of the capital of the door of the valley to Didouch Murad, Baghtth physical needs, Fajad trip search for bath, so it almost eliminates needs in the street, such as the homeless, but for that he had found the solution to go to a cafe, though the filth that bathroom almost return to insert. A tourist can not find a lot of places that seduced visited in the capital, for example, because they basically sleep early, and do not offer special entertainment programs lured by staying up late, not to mention the absence of tourist culture among Algerians, we certainly are not good to welcome our guests with honors, Vouhdha virgin nature opens its arms for tourists.

If another Spanish tourists was not the best case, Vakadm of Granada stayed as a guest on the Algerian friend, and inadvertently herewith restaurant Asmaa, he was surprised that after the waiter gave him a list of food that half of their contents is provided on that day, he went compelled according proposed by the waiter. After that gave him food, found that stretched more than necessary, or, rather, was the smell of "Heat" smelt it, he asked to change the dish, there is no need to delve into the reaction waiter and restaurant owner, he left the restaurant our guest is quick-paced.

Often it is no different in other cities, although the charm of nature, but the thousand barrier and obstacle to be a popular destination for tourists, and the Algerians by foreigners, and recall the experience here was experienced Algerian inadvertently Corniche Wahrani for tourism, and encountered that was passing with an evening accompanied by his wife and three of his friends , with reference to the military that our friend, the poor Exposure to attack skewed than 12 were carrying swords and daggers, and ended the poor vacationing on a bed hospital eye sheep military.

If the beauty of the eyes of the Turks and Andalusia and Bousfer tempt visited, estrangement about 500 meters at least enter the circle of danger, deprives Zaúrha to enjoy the beauty of the place, but can not find him, but to stay trapped in a tourist boat to take a sun bath in front of the swimming pool, or intended near the beach, there is no need to talk about the rest of the places, the situation is Sian .. Avbad all this talk, talk about tourism in Algeria remained? Algeria: Salma Haraz

The Ministry of Tourism instructions fall into the water

Korso swimming in Boumerdes Beach 600 dinars

 Protested many holidaymakers who traveled Korso Beach, west of the state capital of Boumerdes, the illegal practices of some of the young people who they took on the coastal strip in the region through the monument Hmsyatem and tents destined for rent at exorbitant prices vacationer is not able to Kraúha, it arrived one solar price to 600 dinars.

Filed dozens of families who are faring beaches Korso, a complaint to the interests of the national gendarmerie in the region, because of the excesses committed by a group of youths in the area who they took on the beach and turned to private ownership, as it forced vacationers to rent Hmsyatem or leave the beach by force, because they are the owners of the place on the pretext that One of properties bought 700 million centimes, and rented a tape of it.

In spite of complaints recorded vacationers with band the National Gendarmerie, but it is nothing changed, but reached the actions of young people mindless, in addition to that they underestimate their respect for holidaymakers and families, as through one of the complainants, said: "Young people who divested beach prevent us from entering Bashmsaatna, as we forced to pay 600 dinars, in addition to rent chairs, otherwise we prevent from entering the beach, not to mention the improper conduct and lack of respect for the families. "

Although the Ministry of Tourism instructions, which states that access to the beach is free, but the Tourism Directorate of Boumerdes and despite its knowledge of the matter, but it did not interfere with the application of the law, which provides content in the "free access to the beaches." She appealed to the oppressed families of those practices opportunists, Tourism Minister to immediately intervene to break up any confusion about which the tourism capital of the Black Rock to the private tourist area not to enter that drives swim rights.

Private rental accommodation offset the decrease in the capacity of

132 thousand beds along the 1200 km

 Close to the tourism carrying capacity of the shelter sector sources estimated along the regions coastal Algerian, extending along the 1200-km strip, about 132 thousand beds, including about 70 thousand beds is and tourist complexes hotels, Algeria remains therefore the least capacity compared to the countries of the Mediterranean basin.

And describes the same sources that Algeria suffers from a significant lack of grassroots facilities, and infrastructure hotel and tourism, especially since many of the investments, especially in the tourism expansion areas, remained stuck between 2001 and 2013 until the signing of the issued instruction by the Minister of Tourism, Mohammed bin Moradi, In the past Joan, which will allow the liberalization of about 130 tourist projects of more than 50 per cent on the coastal areas on an area of ​​over 50 hectares.

According to statistical estimates available, Algeria holds 1,200 hotels of various items, including 900 hotel located in areas of the north, where he notes that most hotels of five-star category, and number 10 hotels, located in the north, and seven of them in the capital are Alcheraton and Hilton, Algeria and Eurasian and Sovital The Mercure and Oasis, as well as the Sheraton Oran Hotel and Towers. While the much smaller, such as Tunisia state owns 45 hotels of category 5 stars, Morocco 40 and Egypt 100. lacks Algeria adequate number that respects international standards of hotels of category 3 and two-star, that are the real strike force for the promotion of tourism, versus owning approximately 50 hotels from 4-star.

And include hotel barn in Algeria on the proportion of 95 percent from the private sector, the public sector versus owning to 5 per cent of the barn and 63 hotels, most of which remain scattered on the northern regions, especially coastal tourism, which represents the largest share during the summer. And keep the absorptive capacity of the hotels and resorts are limited, making citizens pay to resort to rent at properties along the coastline, offering this alternative more than 60 thousand beds within three months from June to the end of August usually, with the change, according to the month of Ramadan. Due to a lack of supply versus demand, especially in the eastern regions registered, with a lack of hotel barn on the coast compared to hotel Balhzirh West regions, which holds the largest number of hotels and resorts, the prices often rise dramatically. To ward off the shortcomings, public authorities intend embodiment 713 projects, the ability of 82 thousand beds within 2025, the proportion of 67 per cent of urban tourism, and 21 per cent of beach tourism and 3 per cent allocated for desert tourism, and the same percentage of tourism febrile, and 2 per cent of Ecotourism or natural.
