Abstract
The article focuses on domestic tourism in developing countries by focusing attention on confrontation between its developments, often informally, and urbanization. As case study, the coastal region of Beni-Ksila on the west coast of Bejaia (Algeria). The wish through this article is to put, once again, in evidence my persuasions on the advent of the tourist practice in developing societies and the importance of its effects space. This situation, in the face of the stagnation of certain decision-makers and specialists in the field, at least until recent years, has never ceased to worry a number of other observers. Thus, a glimmer of awareness, more and more collective, emerges and supports the highlighting of the reality of the phenomenon. Globally, if in the past, some tourism authors and organizations underestimated domestic tourism in developing countries, let alone its spatial effects; today many authors, even even those who were reluctant in the past speak of the reality of phenomenon and its corollary spatial effects. In the case of Algeria, taking awareness of public authorities, in recent years faced with this reality, admittedly displayed in a timid manner, where actions are slow to come; but this already highlights the importance of the phenomenon.
Highlights
In the international image, Algerian coastal regions are the most coveted space for tourist populations, especially national tourists
In some countries tourism in general, in its development, has been more beneficial than perverse - the local world is satisfied with the economic benefits and the effects on the social, cultural and spatial planning levels
In the case of developing countries, following the example of Algeria, the situation is more worrying given that domestic tourism is not given much consideration by decision-making authorities and professionals in the sector, and even less so when it comes to its spatial implications in the environment in which it is practised
Summary
Algerian coastal regions are the most coveted space for tourist populations, especially national tourists. Combined with other activities directly or indirectly related to tourism, the coastal area is increasingly confronted with very complex dynamics that require careful consideration and thoughtful strategies. It must be said that tourism in general is described by many authors as the main cause of the degradation of certain tourist regions, as mentioned Duhamel and Violier: "tourism seems to be more a victim than a culprit in this respect" [1]. The expected clarifications, through this work, are to show that it is all about policies and strategies in the actions to be undertaken. This means that tourism and urbanization are not the only culprits of the degradation situations that our living spaces are currently experiencing
