الفنادق الخضراء في الجنوب الجزائري بين المعايير التراثية والاستدامة البيئية

Green hotels in southern Algeria between traditional standards and environmental sustainability

Abstract

This study aimed to shed light on the green practices of desert hotels in southern Algeria, and to
show whether these practices actually reflect the green orientation of the hotel, and the extent of
their contribution to sustainable tourism development, as 04 green hotels were selected in the south
of Algeria (Ajdag Tour Bourgla Hotel, Dar Maa Hotel Roses in Manea, Aghlan Pradias Hotel in
Ghardaia, and Teneri Hotel in Djanet), and at the level of each hotel, open interviews and
observations were used to ascertain the actual practice of green practices and the extent of their
contribution to sustainable tourism development. The Roses in Ghardaia, Aghlan Pradias in
Ghardaia and the Ajdag Tour Hotel in Bouargla are characterized by high green practices, but
unevenly, and they contribute significantly to sustainable tourism development.
