• Algeria launches “DZ Travellers” platform for citizens abroad
• Portal offers emergency info, risk guidance, and consular support
• Part of broader push to digitize public services and crisis response

Algeria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs officially launched a new digital platform called "DZ Travellers" on Thursday, Sept. 25, to support Algerian citizens traveling abroad. The portal centralizes essential information, recommendations, and instructions for travelers in case of an emergency or crisis.

"This new service is part of the ongoing efforts to strengthen existing mechanisms and procedures adopted to ensure the protection and security of our citizens, as well as their support, in accordance with the instructions of the country's high authorities," the Ministry indicated. 

The platform's creation aligns with the nation’s broader policy of modernizing consular services and digitizing support systems, as well as its National Digital Transformation Strategy, which prioritizes e-services and full administrative digitization.

According to the ministry, DZ Travellers will improve consular services’ responsiveness during emergencies, facilitate risk prevention, and optimize assistance for Algerians abroad. It is also expected to contribute to a more efficient digital management of critical situations and consular operations.
