Morocco set to attract German tourists
Magharebia Arabe Press has reported that Moroccan tourist officials are keen to expand further into the German market and attract more visitors. The country’s emergence as a popular holiday destination in recent times may potentially encourage people to purchase property in Morocco.
Tourism minister Mohamed Boussaid in a travel trade show in Berlin has said that Morocco’s untapped areas have to be opened up and he added that Moroccan government is concerned about the German market because it is mainly focused on beach holidays. Mr. Boussaid also revealed that those projects are currently in progress to enable Morocco to offer new attractions to German holidaymakers.
Nearly $14.4 million has been invested by the government in creating desert and oasis resorts in the southern regions of Ouarzazate, Errachidia and Zagora. The promotional drive to attract more tourists is good news for property investors in Morocco, who could be in line to benefit from increased demand for holiday accommodation.
German holidaymakers’ passion for surfing is well known. Recently Surfline.com stated that Morocco is a good destination for keen surfers and they would find much to enjoy in Morocco, including pleasant weather conditions.
The Times has recommended Morocco as a good option for leisure travelers during 2008. Morocco is easily accessible and is serviced by a number of low-cost airlines including Ryanair and easy Jet.
