Inspecting the rehabilitation project of El-Kalaa hotel in M'sila, at the start of a two-day working visit to the province, the official said that Algeria “has a rich heritage and traditions that differ from one region to another, hence the need to include a traditional touch in terms of architecture, choice of building materials, decoration and ornamentation of sector structures.”

The promotion of local tourism “must take into account these important aspects so as to improve the attractiveness of sites and tourist facilities,” he added.

In this respect, Bennacer called on the project managers of El-Kalaa Hotel in downtown Hodna to “accelerate the pace of work in order to deliver the project within the allotted time, that is, by the end of this year.”

During his visit to M'sila province, the official also inspected two projects, namely the project to build new headquarters for the Chamber of Crafts and Trades (CAM) and the Provincial Directorate of Tourism and Crafts in M'sila, as well as the rehabilitation project of the National Institute of Hospitality and Tourism in Bou Saada.[/ecr]
