“…The touristic fortune of the close Réserve Naturelle Géologique de Haute-Provence and Geopark of Haute-Provence (Guiomar 2009(Guiomar , 2013Pagès 2009;Guiomar et al 2010;Venzal 2012), distant only 80 km from Col de Braus as the crow flies, testifies the high geotouristic potential of a region -the SE France -in which terrific exposures of geological elements occur in a magnificent and largely preserved landscape, and come along an efficient network of communication routes and accommodation services deriving from a well-established touristic vocation. Far from hypothesize a similar geotouristic development for the Col de Braus area, given the limited extension and the lesser overall spectacularity, its valorization and protection would be desirable by reason of its undeniable geoheritage value.…”

“…On the other hand, the Réserve Naturelle Géologique de Haute Provence, created in 1984, represents the largest European Natural Reserve of geological purpose. It extends over about 2300 km 2 in the Castellane-Digne area (Guiomar 2009(Guiomar , 2013Pagès 2009;Guiomar et al 2010;Venzal 2012). It is visited by a great number of people every year, thanks to the high variety of geological heritage it offers, often valorized in situ with adequate protection structures (e.g., ichthyosaur skeletons, sirenian bones, and the famous "ammonite slab" (Dommergues and Guiomar…”

Basin. The Col de Braus section represents a classic locality for the geology of the Maritime Alps and of the SE France in general, known since the late XVIII century, and is here individuated as a highly significant geological heritage, due to its multiple aspects of interests going far beyond scientific value. A geological itinerary along the Col de Braus section is also proposed. It is entirely developed along a main road in a beautiful Mediterranean upland landscape, and is enjoyable by both specialists and neophytes thanks to the multiple levels of reading offered by the selected outcrops.

“…On the other hand, we attempt to conduct an in-depth analysis to explain the existing gap between the region's natural potential and the perpetuation of a delay in local development. We will highlight the factors preventing the economic and social development of the Hammam Guergour community and its future, following the World Tourism Organization's charter stating that "tourism must be ecologically sustainable in the long term, economically viable and ethically and socially equitable for the local population (Rouzet and Seguin, 2010;Venzal, 2012). To this aim, the following questions were asked:…”

Algeria is the largest country in the Mediterranean Basin, but it have classified at the bottom of the ranking in terms of tourism’s share of GDP. It is a pristine tourist destination that has unfortunately not been sufficiently exploited, This paper attempts to analyse and understand the dilemma between an incompatible natural potential and the persistence of the proven delay of touristic development by the case study of a mountain municipality of Hammam Guergour. Which is well known for its mineral springs, and which in turn has contributed to the activity of thermal tourism. We used the (SWOT) method which allows internal and external analyses of Thermal tourism. SWOT analysis is used to exploit the opportunities for development in the region, and then how development actors can outperform. The aim is to determine how force factors are used to take advantage of opportunities for development in the region, and then how development actors can overcome weaknesses and then push back threats. We noted striking disparities between the more or less structured spaces in the high plains of the Sétif region, such as the Sétif – El Eulma axis; and a deconstructed mountain space, because the implementation of activities and equipment’s does not respond to the existing constraints of Hammam Guergour.
