Morocco's Top Ski Resort Faces Tourist Slump as Drought Leaves Slopes Bare

The Oukaïmeden region, near Marrakech, fears a desertion of tourists during the January holidays due to the lack of snow and the severe drought affecting the kingdom.

Oukaïmeden risks losing its appeal during these holidays due to unfavorable weather conditions, indicate sources at kech24, highlighting the lack of snow and the severe drought that Morocco has been experiencing for three years.

The region attracts thousands of Moroccan tourists every year during this period. They come from all regions of the kingdom to have a good time in this mountainous region, enjoy the snowy landscapes and go skiing.

The tourism sector is the pillar of the region’s economy. This influx of tourists during the period benefits the owners of shops, cafes, hotels and rental houses who make significant profits.
