Tourism & New Residential Developments Key to Morocco’s Future Economic Growth

HM King Mohammed VI, accompanied by Prince Moulay Rachid, chaired,, the opening ceremony of the tenth National Tourism Forum in Marrakech  February 2010

The massive tourist/residential development program, Vision 2010 – of which the coastal part came to be known as “Plan Azur” –  whose aim was to bring 10 million visitors a year to Morocco by 2010 and included the building of 6 new coastal resorts, 250,000 hotel beds, including 180,000 properties located in or around the cities.

Morocco has been a popular tourist destination for many years, and the new “King’s Resort” of Saidia, with its stunning blend of new and historical architecture is set to make Morocco one of the top tourist destinations on the Mediterranean.

Old Town Saidia is an attractive and very pleasant resort town 75km east of the Spanish city of Melilla.  Saida has lots of history including the 17th century fortress and 19th century Kasbah.

Melilla, a Spanish town, is a smaller and more laid back version of its Spanish sister, Ceuta.  The town centre is very appealing, with an abundance of palm trees, well tended gardens and restored Spanish facades.

Oujda, the largest town in eastern Morocco, is a modern, affluent and cosmopolitan city.
