Abstract

This study analyzes the trajectory of digital transformation indicators in Algeria (2020–2025) to assess their impact on the development of the tourism sector's digital infrastructure. Adopting a descriptive-analytical approach, the research examines key national and international indicators—including internet penetration, network quality, online booking systems, e-payment ecosystems, and digital tourism services—leveraging data from official bodies and international organizations such as UNCTAD, ITU, and the WTTC. The empirical analysis indicates a dichotomy in performance: while foundational digital infrastructure (connectivity and mobile density) has achieved maturity, the tourism-specific digital ecosystem remains fragmented. Critical bottlenecks were identified, including low interoperability between payment gateways and hospitality management systems, and a deficit in data-driven destination marketing. The study concludes that transitioning from 'digital presence' to 'digital competitiveness' requires a strategic pivot towards service integration rather than mere infrastructural expansion.
