Summary
Tassili n'Ajjer, Algeria's spectacular geological plateau, holds significant potential for sustainable geotourism and environmental education when integrated into school curricula. A study involving 500 students and 80 faculty from two universities revealed high student interest in geo-heritage but low formal instruction. Faculty expressed enthusiasm for integrating geo-heritage teaching but noted institutional support gaps. Tassili n'Ajjer was identified as an ideal location for educational tours due to its geological and cultural importance, suggesting that enhanced visibility of Algeria's geosites could foster more informed and responsible tourism, aligning with sustainable development goals.
