1992 Expert mission report, Tipasa, October 1992
Conservation issues presented to the World Heritage Committee in 2001

During the mission for the revision of the Periodic Reports for Algeria, the site of Tipasa was visited and the situation was reviewed with the Algerian authorities. No change had been noted in respect to the request for emergency assistance approved by the Bureau in June 2001. It was agreed that the expert mission foreseen in the framework of that request be undertaken at end-October or during November 2001.

Also, the authorities informed the mission of the existence of a PSPP (Permanent Safeguarding and Presentation Plan) elaborated in 1992 with the Urbanism Workshop of the City of Marseilles and UNESCO. This plan, which could have regulated and improved the situation of the site of Tipasa, although approved by the authorities, had not, to date, been implemented.
