Morocco's tourist market 'set to increase'

Article Date : 19 October 2007

The number of tourists visiting Morocco could increase by more than a third during the next three years, according to new estimates.

Travel and Tourism News reported that the government was aiming to boost the country's tourist industry, since it was highly lucrative for the national economy.

Official figures cited by the news provider showed that during 2006, 6.5 million people visited Morocco for a holiday.

However, the government wants the annual number of holidaymakers to increase to ten million by 2010.

If the targets are met, overseas property investors are likely to benefit from the increased demand for rental accommodation, greater income from rent and a higher occupancy rate.

The country's growing popularity among holidaymakers could also impact on property prices as a residence in the country could become a more sought-after commodity.

Morocco's tourism department recently published figures showing between January and July this year, 261,000 Britons visited it for a holiday.
