The Director General of the Algerian Investment Promotion Agency, Mr. Omar REKKACHE, announced on Saturday, May 23, 2026, in Mostaganem, the completion of preparations for the display of several new land assets dedicated to tourism investment across a number of wilayas nationwide. This initiative comes within the framework of supporting the momentum currently witnessed by the sector and enhancing Algeria’s attractiveness as a promising tourism and investment destination.
Speaking during an information day on the role of Algerian Television in promoting Algeria as a distinguished tourism destination, the Director General explained that these land assets concern the wilayas of Mostaganem, Algiers, Oran, Boumerdes, Jijel, and Annaba, in addition to promising wilayas for the development of Saharan tourism such as Timimoun, Djanet, and El Oued, as well as other southern wilayas, given their remarkable natural and tourism potential.
He further stressed that the Agency is working in coordination with the Ministry of Tourism and Handicrafts to provide suitable conditions for the launch of promising tourism projects through the mobilization of land assets and the provision of greater visibility for investors, thereby facilitating the implementation of projects across different regions of the country.
In the same context, the Director General highlighted Algeria’s diverse tourism assets, which call for the encouragement of high-quality investments and the establishment of a business-friendly environment as part of an integrated vision aimed at making tourism a genuine driver of economic development.
He added that tourism investment can benefit from the current economic momentum and the significant improvement in the business climate, thanks to the reforms initiated by the President of the Republic, Mr. Abdelmadjid TEBBOUNE, which have contributed to strengthening Algeria’s attractiveness as an investment destination.
The Director General also revealed that, from November 1st, 2022, until May 15, 2026, the Agency registered a total of 280 investment projects in the tourism sector, with declared investment values exceeding DZD 257.5 billion and an expected creation of more than 17,000 direct jobs. This reflects the growing interest in the sector as one of the country’s most promising investment fields.
On another note, he praised the role played by Algerian Television in promoting Algeria as a distinguished tourism destination and conveying a positive image that reflects the country’s diversity and rich tourism potential, while also showcasing investment opportunities and the transformations taking place within the tourism sector, thereby reinforcing Algeria’s attractiveness and consolidating its position as a promising destination for tourism and investment.
In conclusion, the Director General emphasized that today’s challenge goes beyond merely promoting Algeria’s image; it also involves building an integrated vision that positions tourism as a wealth-generating sector and a creator of employment opportunities. This, he noted, requires the combined efforts of all stakeholders, foremost among them the media, in order to highlight the country’s real potential and strengthen the image of a modern Algeria that is attractive for investment and development.
