“…In the coastal areas, KBAs are mainly threatened by urbanisation, excessive tourism pressure and pollution, fire and overgrazing (Benhouhou et al, 2018;Menoueret al, 2017), as in other cities of Algeria. Reconciliation between economic and social development (Khelil et al, 2019;Boubekri et al, 2018), spatial planning, ecotourism (Bernard et al, 2016) and protection of natural resources are the key to sustainable development of the Algerian coastline.…”

The accelerated and uncontrolled urbanisation in the coastal zone of Mostaganem is exclusively at the expense of agricultural and natural areas and is reflected in the aggravation of their degradation. The study area is a 62-km-long littoral to the west of Mostaganem and includes 11 municipalities. The Corine Land Cover nomenclature was used by exploiting data from Landsat satellite images over a 30-year period. The exploitation of statistics related to agricultural and forestry areas reveals a worrying dynamics. All spaces are under pressure mainly due to urbanisation. The phenomena of urbanization and coastalisation and the development of seaside tourism have increased the pressures on natural heritage to the point of compromising it. The analysis identified seven thematic object classes for the study area. An assessment of the dynamics of urban, forest and agricultural areas is an informative indicator of the sustainability of natural areas in the coastline of Mostaganem. The cultivated areas measured from 42,356 ha in 1985 to 38,301 ha in 2015,forest formations from 8207 ha to 9298 ha and urbanised areas from 2604 ha to 5049 ha. The dramatic land use change stimulated by rapid urbanisation in the study areas has resulted in a fundamental change in the landscape pattern. The thematic maps and the results obtained through different periods show that the predominant agricultural landscape has been gradually converted into urban areas.

“…These tourism projects are closely associated with the natural protected areas established in 1993 to curb deforestation (Ducourtieux 2015), like the Nam Ha NPA in the Luang Namtha province (Bernard, Roche and Sarrasin 2016;Roche et al 2015). This protected area was extended in 1999 to encompass 2,224 km², corresponding to onefourth of the total area of the province (Fig.…”

“…Instead of promoting agropastoral landscapes shaped by local communities, as is common practice in the Western tourism sector (Depraz 2008;Dérioz 2010), the object is now to market the wilderness experience. Despite the creation of the NPA, however, the forest is threatened by various contemporary dynamics (Bernard, Roche and Sarrasin 2016). Luang Namtha is presented as a "nature" destination in which to immerse oneself in the "jungle", whose most conspicuous (and accessible) features are its gigantic old-growth trees and diversity of insects.…”

“…There is no unanimous definition of ecotourism (Stone, 2015;Li and Wang, 2016). Lequin (2001) identified three types of definitions, namely, some are demand-driven, some resourceoriented and others focussed on local communities (Bernard et al, 2016). Fennell (2001) also conducted a content analysis as part of his research based on 85 definitions, demonstrating how the concept has evolved over time.…”

Community-based ecotourism for preventing overtourism and tourismophobia

Purpose This paper aims to examine the local community tourism as a solution to address overtourism and tourismophobia in unpopular and vulnerable tourist areas (rural places, wetlands, protected areas, historic sites and isolated places). Design/methodology/approach Interviews were conducted with presidents and active members of associations that have committed to develop community-based ecotourism (CBET) in Algeria (in the desert, mountains and central rural highlands). Findings The results show that the interviewees have definitely adopted a participatory approach and included locals in their CBET and ecotourism projects. Unfortunately, it seems that Algerian tourists and tourism stakeholders have low ecological awareness. Therefore, a comprehensive approach should be put in place for the benefit of local residents to minimise tourismophobia and anti-tourism movement in these vulnerable areas. Originality/value Theoretically, this paper aims to fill the gap in the literature on overtourism in rural areas and vulnerable places. At the management level, contributions should help tourism stakeholders to understand the need to adopt regulations and standards to facilitate and secure alternative tourism forms such as CBET to prevent overtourism and tourismophobia risks.
