Tangier: A home for all seasons
The official data from Industry and Services Chamber, Morocco showed that tourism went up by 21 per cent between 1995 and 2005. The majority of the tourists are from European nations, especially France, Spain and the UK.
Holidaymakers are recommended to visit the thriving tourist destination of Tangier in northern Morocco and it is one of the most important seaport cities in the country. Tangier is one of six Moroccan locations identified by the government as a part of its initiative to transform the country into a major tourist destination.
The planned infrastructure developments include 600 miles of new roads and a 24-mile tunnel linking Tangier to Punta Palomas in Spain, 25 miles west of Gibraltar. The daily hydrofoil services from Malaga and car ferries from Tarifa are available. The surroundings possess a wide variety of natural landscapes created by the main bay, large valleys, cliffs, plains, undulations and outcrops.
Australian newspaper the Sunday Telegraph has reported that Tangier is among a list of places around the world that are growing in prominence as cultural hotspots. In an interview to the Guardian, Ms Reece of I-escape said that Brits visiting Morocco enjoys the chance to visit areas that are “off the beaten tourist track” and offers year round good weather.
Paul Collins, overseas property editor of BuyAssociation said that the country’s booming tourist market would also help to attract foreign investors during 2008. The large influx of vacationers is likely to give many investors of rental accommodations the opportunity to earn strong rental yields.
