The Moroccan Tourist Engineering Company (SMIT) wants to transform the Drâa Tafilalet region into a flagship destination for ecotourism in Morocco, through the implementation of an ambitious program of around 1.7 billion dirhams.
In Morocco, the cities and regions of the North as well as the tourist areas of Bouznika, Skhirat, Mohammedia and their surroundings are experiencing heavy influxes, causing difficulties for motorists, negatively impacting the travel experience, and affecting the environment.
In preparation for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (CAN 2025) and the 2030 World Cup that Morocco is preparing to host, new underpasses will be built in Tangier to facilitate the circulation of residents and tourists.
Good prospects for Moroccan tourism? After a gloomy July marked by low influx of tourists, both domestic and foreign, all eyes and hopes are turned to the month of August.
The hotel sector is suffering in Morocco this summer. Professionals in the sector complain about the low influx noted, compared to other tourist accommodation establishments.
Rumors and smear campaigns targeting the cities of northern Morocco on social media are detrimental to tourism activity in this region, which is popular with tourists during the summer season.
The authorities of Al Hoceima have tackled the occupants of public space on the Quemado beach. An operation welcomed by summer visitors, as well as a number of civil actors and tourism sector players.
The scene caused a scandal in Morocco. To the general surprise, a foreign tourist stripped naked and tried to swim naked on a beach in Al Hoceima before being stopped in his tracks by vacationers.
Vacationers in the northern cities of Morocco have expressed their discontent in recent days with the exaggerated rise in prices in cafes and restaurants.
Contrary to previous years, tourists have not flocked to the northern cities of Morocco this summer. The situation is particularly worrying in Martil, which used to attract many visitors and Moroccans living abroad during the summer season.
Many Moroccans choose to spend their holidays outside Morocco, particularly in Spain, Portugal or Turkey, due to the too expensive tourist offers proposed in the kingdom. The thematic group responsible for evaluating public policies in the field of tourism, at the House of Advisors, looked into the issue.
This year, many Moroccan families have chosen not to travel within the kingdom for their summer holidays. The reason is the widespread increase in prices and the early payment of June salaries on the occasion of Eid Al-Adha.
