Abstract

This study aimed to show the extent of the marginalization of tourism activity in Algeria.After independence, Algeria experienced good years of tourism, the years of “wild camping” and “family trips”.

Today, sporadic movements act in the tourist field, an initiative of civil society resulting in solidarity tourism associations sometimes assisted by migrant associations. These initiatives are being done gradually and quietly.

Then, Sustainable tourism is one of the most effective solutions for the strong involvement of tourism activity in the national economy . The methodology followed for this research is discribing solidarity tourism in Algeria and analysing the différents statistics concerned this activity.
