Toussaint Holidays See 24% Rise in French Arrivals to Algeria
Algeria has seen a 24% increase in French tourist arrivals during the Toussaint holidays, positioning it among the top growth destinations, according to a recent barometer.
Algeria experienced a significant rise in French tourist arrivals during the Toussaint holidays in late October and early November 2026. Movements of French travelers to the destination increased by 24% compared to the same period in 2025. This data comes from a barometer published by L’Écho touristique on November 13, utilizing information from Flux Vision d’Orange.
This substantial growth has placed Algeria among the top 10 foreign destinations that recorded the strongest progression in traveler numbers. Specifically, Algeria secured the 10th position in this ranking, standing alongside countries such as Portugal, which saw a 32% increase, Lithuania with a 33% rise, and Slovenia, experiencing a 52% growth in French visits.
The positive trend for Algeria aligns with a broader preference among French travelers for nearby destinations, particularly within the Mediterranean basin. The barometer's methodology included leisure, business, and affinity trips taken between October 17 and November 1, 2026. Destinations featured in the growth ranking welcomed over 1,000 travelers during each of the two studied periods, underscoring the relevance of Algeria's performance.
