Overview
Algeria's tourism receipts stood at $50.0M in 2020, a decline of +$90.0M from 2019. Algeria ranked 117th globally.
Algeria’s tourism receipts have collapsed from the all‑time peak of 477,000,000.00 in 2005 to a trough of 50,000,000.00 in 2020, placing the country at rank 117 globally and far below peers such as Gambia (53,000,000.00) and Mongolia (49,000,000.00). The 89.5 percent decline over the 16‑year coverage reflects the combined impact of the global financial crisis, regional security concerns and the COVID‑19 pandemic, which sharply curtailed international arrivals and visitor spending. While the early 2000s saw modest growth driven by coastal resorts and desert tourism, the absence of a sustained recovery strategy left Algeria vulnerable to external shocks. In contrast, neighboring economies with comparable rankings have managed to stabilise receipts through diversified marketing and investment in infrastructure. If Algeria expands its tourism product mix, improves visa facilitation and leverages its cultural heritage, the downward trajectory could be reversed, allowing receipts to regain momentum in the post‑pandemic era.
