Rabat – Attracting 20 million tourists by 2020 is a feasible goal if appropriate means are provided, said the President of the National Tourism Confederation Abdellatif Kabbaj.
In an interview with French-speaking monthly magazine Economie Entreprises, Kabbaj said that “reaching 20 million tourists as part of the 2020 vision is a feasible goal if we assign to it the appropriate means,” he said, explaining that these means include increasing coastal resorts to match Morocco’s potential.
He stressed the need for creating new resorts in southern Morocco by giving facilitations to investors and reinforcing infrastructure in cities such as Tan-Tan, Mir Left and Dakhla.
Kabbaj also pointed out to the need of encouraging domestic tourism to reach 40% of hotels’ clients by 2017, adding that national tourists represent a stable market that spend more than foreign tourists.
