Morocco Poised to Reopen for French Tourists as COVID-19 Situation Improves

The French want to spend their holidays in Morocco. Interested in the tourism potential of the kingdom, they are preparing to travel to this dream destination. Apart from Tunisia, which has started to welcome tourists with strict health measures, Morocco represents the 2nd least risky destination in the Maghreb in view of its epidemiological situation.

In France, tour operators have scheduled trips to Morocco from July 1st, pending confirmation from the health authorities, reports LCI. For Léon Habasque, director of Terre d’Aventure, the trips will be organized within the next eight days. But he offers to reimburse his clients as soon as the trip cannot take place for health reasons.

In Morocco, the authorities announce a reopening of the borders after July 10, the scheduled date for deconfinement. For the moment, only domestic flights are authorized according to a well-defined health protocol.

However, a glimmer of hope is emerging after a press release from the Ministry of Health. According to the ministry, the epidemiological situation in Morocco remains under control and stable, given the reduced number of critical cases and the very low mortality rate. The department of Khalid Ait Taleb also argues that the high infection rates observed in recent days are justified by the early and active collective screening carried out to contain the pandemic.
