Tourism and recreation in Skikda, many assets to value

The wilaya of Skikda has great tourist potential, which not only gives it an undeniable notoriety, but make it a popular destination with tourists who flock each summer on the beaches. For many, Skikda is synonymous with beach, fine sand and sun holiday; This is legitimate because it has a coastline of over 250 km, from Marsa to Collo.
Every summer, it's full! The number of summer visitors has continued to increase sometimes reaching ten million, according to figures from the Civil Protection. The wide beach, Guerbes, Marsa, and Ben Tamanar M'hidi, to name but a few, are among the most prestigious, their legendary charm they owe to their ideal geographical position since surrounded by mountains and / or hills offering a unique landscape, combining green nature and blue sky. The wealth of Skikda is not limited only to its coast, other assets, just as important, could, provided they are operated, propel the tourism sector. Indeed, the province has a very imposing forest, a remarkably uneven terrain on the coast the coast, in the mountains of Collo, Marsa and Azzaba, where you can glimpse the plains as the mountains, or areas foothills none.

At the mountain areas, we find in the south Jebel Hdjar Chouat with 1220 m of altitude, Sidi Idriss, 1364 m, Djebel Abdelhadjedj, 564 m, and Djebel Stahia, 572 m, located on the edge of Guebeli and Safsaf. At Skikda, Mother Nature has been very generous, warm waters that flow from both natural sources of Azzaba Essalhin Hammam and Hammam El Hamma are proof: thousands of visitors go there daily to provide a relaxing and relaxation. Moreover, we assume the existence of other natural sites, especially after the discovery, last November, a Hamam in the town of Ramdane Djamel. The remains available to the province are now well established; the diversity of its sites offers him enormous tourist potential, including archaeological innumerable. Only Skikda has missed his calling.

Indeed, when the historical tourism is booming in some wilayas, in it's many archaeological sites continue to languish in the jungle of Collo, and this is just one example, since several other niches could be developed: mountain tourism through hiking, scientific and educational tourism in the wetland Guerbes, the cultural massif Collo and business tourism thanks to the industrial pole and the two ports. Meanwhile, Skikda is content, as every year, land and beach equipment. The official document on the preparation of the 2009 summer season involves the installation of police stations and Emergency Preparedness at several beaches, such Ben M'Hidi, Marsa and Filfila. Aid stations, terminals, fountains and public lighting are also planned. The only new feature this year relates to the production of a second pilot beach similar to Filfila.
