68% of tourists who visited Morocco in 2014 are satisfied

Taroudant – The majority of tourists who visited Morocco in the second and third quarters of 2014 expressed satisfaction with their visit.

According to a survey conducted by the Tourism Observatory, 68 percent of visitors were ‘satisfied’ or ‘very satisfied’ with their stay in Morocco during the second quarter of the year.

The same source added that more than 79 percent of tourists said they were willing to return to Morocco.

The sense of security and Moroccans’ friendliness are the aspects that pleased tourists the most.

It is no wonder that Morocco ranked last third out of 140 countries last year as most welcoming toward foreign tourists.

Morocco’s sense of security received the best rate among the aspects surveyed, with 64 percent of tourists expressing their satisfaction in the second quarter and 74 percent in the third quarter of 2014.

69 percent of visitors were satisfied with their relationship with the Moroccan people in the third quarter, compared to 64 percent in the second quarter of 2014.

However, the survey showed that the Kingdom’s weaknesses were public infrastructure and urban transportation.

Lahcen Haddad the Minister of Tourism, said in December that Kingdom’s tourism sector attracted $2 billion in investments in 2014, “despite a challenging international economic environment.”
