Authors : Belkadi Abdelghani . Smadi Amina .

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the extent to which guesthouses are part of a sustainable approach in their business by reviewing the dimensions of sustainable tourism (economic, social, and environmental) applied by guesthouses. We used a qualitative method based on an interview guide addressed to 15 guesthouse owners in the Wilaya of Tizi-Ouzou. This study examines the role of guesthouses in the development of sustainable tourism in a territory, identifying current challenges and opportunities for applying this approach to other territories. This article illustrates the role of guesthouses in promoting sustainable tourism in the Wilaya of Tizi-Ouzou. The main results confirm, according to the dimensions of sustainable development, how guesthouses have contributed to the revitalization of the local economy, the preservation of the cultural heritage of local communities and the protection of the environment by collaborating with stakeholders.
