Morocco Named African Top Tourism Destination

Fri, 17 Jul 2009

Morocco was recently voted the top tourism destination in Africa for 2009 at the annual African Business Awards.

The North African country was recognised by judges for the innovation it has shown in promoting its tourism industry.

Initiatives such as the Vision 2010 campaign have been launched by the Moroccan tourist board in a bid to significantly boost visitor numbers by next year.

As part of the project, six new purpose-built resorts are to be built across the country to help cater for the expected rise in visiting holidaymakers.

The first new property, Mediterrania-Saidia, began welcoming guests last month, while the second resort, Mazagan, will open for business in El Jadida in October.

Ali El Kasmi, director of the Moroccan tourist board in the UK, said: "We are delighted to have won such an accolade. Morocco offers a quality product and a cultural destination full of energy, mysticism and spice."

British travellers interested in visiting Morocco can catch flights to Marrakech, Rabat, Tangier and other cities in the n country from a number of UK airports .
