Tangier Tourism Surges 10% as High-Speed Rail Boosts Visitor Numbers

Around 90,000 tourist arrivals in Tangier, from January to March 2019, for 285,000 overnight stays, which corresponds, respectively, to a 10.1% and 9.1% increase compared to 2018, for the same quarter. Very good figures that testify to a good dynamic for the capital of the north.

While this high-speed line is supporting the revival of tourism in Tangier, this sector is declining in several European countries, writes the newspaper. However, Tangier should not rest on its laurels but could show vigilance and inventiveness to overcome the likely periods of wear and tear for the LGV.
