Over the years, surfing has established itself as a sporting and tourist attraction in Taghazout. To maintain the momentum, tourism professionals are calling for strengthening air transport and opening up this part of the coast.

The Moroccan champions of the discipline Ramzi Boukhiam, Brahim Iddouch or Othmane Choufani have, through their successes, contributed to its promotion. Maintaining this momentum involves multiplying accommodation products adapted to surfers, strengthening air transport and opening up this part of the coast.
