Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to highlight the coastal tourism assets of the province of Tipaza, as a distinctive tourist destination. The study highlights the various tourism assets available in Tipaza, such as hotels, tourist apartments, and resorts, and their role in improving the visitor experience by offering a variety of services that suit the needs of different age groups and tourist categories. It also highlights the role played by tourist facilities and infrastructure in enhancing the destination's attractiveness and competitiveness. The study was based on a field survey of visitors during the summer of 2024/2025, which was distributed to 120 visitors and 62 valid questionnaires were retrieved for analysis. The results showed that the integration of natural resources with tourist facilities and services provided to visitors is the main factor in enhancing Tipaza's attractiveness and competitiveness, which is consistent with Dwyer & Kim's model of tourist destination competitiveness.
