| Summary: | The city of Bou Saâda is one of the Algerian cities that have diverse tourism
resources, but it has not been adopted as a premier tourist spot nor has it
benefited from the tourism programs established within the national strategy
for sustainable tourism development for Horizons 2030, which made the
tourism weak compared to other Algerian regions that have similar tourism
elements. This study aims to evaluate the existing tourism strategy to
address the shortcomings and provide solutions by focusing on four
variables: tourist destination, tourism industry, the tourist market, and
actors in tourism. We have relied on the following techniques: SWOT analysis
to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the
tourism sector in Bou Saâda, MCDA Analysis using AHP for spatial planning
for the future tourism industry, and a questionnaire form distributed to the
residents, the tourists and the experts to take their suggestions and use
them in guiding the tourism planning process. The results of the study
proved that there is a weakness in the tourism planning process in the city
of Bou Saâda, which negatively affects the tourism traffic, that is still
weak compared to the qualifications it has, which if exploited according to
a wellthought-out strategy, the city will become a targeted tourist
destination. |
