Yacine Hammadi

Yacine Hammadi (born 22 November 1973) is an Algerian politician who served as the Minister of Tourism of Algeria between July 8, 2021, and March 18, 2023.

Biography Hammadi was born on November 22, 1973, in Khenchela, Algeria. He attended the National School of Administration where he graduated in 1992 with a baccalaureate in general administration. He then completed his master's in States and Public Institutions at the Faculty of Law at the University of Algiers.

Hammadi was appointed as Minister of Tourism and Handicrafts on July 7, 2021, by president Abdelmadjid Tebboune during a cabinet reshuffle. Hammadi's appointment ousted Mohamed Ali Boughazi as part of the integration of Benabderrahmane government. The deal was under pressure by Tunisian interests, as an increase in Algerian tourism would draw visitors away from Tunisia.
