دور القطاع السياحي في تحقيق النمو الاقتصادي في الجزائر : دراسة قياسية للفترة-2000 م-2017 م

Abstract EN

This study aimed to explain the contribution of the tourism sector in boosting economic growth in Algeria during the period (2000-2017) within the framework of economic diversification away from the oil sector.

The study is based on a major hypothesis that claims tourism plays a very weak role in the Algerian national economy and hence in the activation of economic growth.

The results of the study showed that Algeria like many countries has a group of factors which make it competitive against the leading nations in the tourism field; since in recent years Algeria had realized the importance of tourism and grasped its imperative, to exit from the followed model based on total reliance on petroleum industry.

Accordingly, it seeks to develop the tourism sector by programs and strategies, which featured in the guideline plans for tourism adaptation towards the beginning of 2030.The results of the econometric study show that there is no causal relationship between tourism and economic growth in Algeria during the period (2000-2017).
