Covid-19 Pandemic And Tourism: What Contribution Of Transport To The Resumption Of Domestic Tourism Activity In Algeria?

Résumé: Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the health and economy of countries. The tourism sector has been hit the hardest around the world. It has been at a standstill since March 2020 and its resumption of activity after the lifting of containment continues to arouse the interest of specialists in the sector as many countries still maintain the closure of their borders, including Algeria. This situation is forcing the revival of domestic tourism activity in these countries. We aim to analyze the contribution of transport in the resumption of tourist activity in the interior of Algeria to allow the population, weakened and stressed by the confinement of COVID-19 for more than 5 months, to spend pleasant holidays, and this through the evaluation of the potential of the transport sector and those of tourism as well as the measures taken by the government to revive the economy and the transport sector for the period after confinement. The results showed that Algeria has significant potential in the transport and domestic tourism sector and that the revival of activity can be done quickly. However, it remains to be seen whether tourists will be able to adapt to the COVID-19 health protocol.
