Summer season: President outlines priorities

President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has emphasized the critical importance of guaranteeing a successful summer season in 2026, urging all relevant sectors to mobilize. During a Council of Ministers meeting on Sunday, June 7, 2026, he stressed the need to ensure citizens experience the best possible conditions for holidays, leisure, and relaxation.

This directive underscores the government's focus on a period that serves as more than just a vacation time. The summer season acts as a barometer for public service quality, the attractiveness of national tourist destinations, and the capacity of various stakeholders to meet the expectations of millions of Algerians. Tebboune called for implementing measures to enhance the visitor experience, including improving infrastructure, strengthening beach safety, maintaining public space cleanliness, and ensuring adequate transport, health, and civil protection services.

The summer season is also a significant economic engine. It stimulates activity across tourism, hospitality, restaurants, transportation, commerce, and leisure services, creating thousands of seasonal jobs. This period offers a crucial opportunity to promote domestic tourism, a strategic focus in recent years, encouraging Algerian families to explore the country's natural, cultural, and historical heritage.

Beyond its economic impact, the summer season serves as a primary showcase for Algeria's tourism image. The quality of hospitality, beach organization, infrastructure, and service offerings directly influence perceptions. Authorities aim to leverage this period to promote Algeria as a competitive Mediterranean destination, capable of offering diverse experiences ranging from coastal resorts to cultural and mountain tourism.
