Marrakech Restaurant Owners Demand Crackdown on Illegal Quad Tours Amid Health Concerns

Restaurant owners are urging Farid Chourak, Wali of the Marrakech-Safi region, to urgently take measures to put an end to the chaos caused by quad and buggy owners in the palm grove. Without obtaining a license and in violation of ONSSA’s hygiene and monitoring standards, the latter offer their guests dishes prepared under unsanitary conditions, denounced the restaurant owners.

Such practices constitute a danger to the health and safety of tourists, the restaurant owners have warned, calling on the Wali of the region to send a commission on site to note these shortcomings. This alert comes after cases of food poisoning recorded in recent weeks in some fast-food restaurants and restaurants in the ochre city, which cost the lives of six people.
