Morocco in new tourism bid

A new website aimed at bolstering tourist numbers has been launched by the Moroccan tourist board.

Moroccothereapy.com is a site concentrating on last-minute deals, as research has shown that tourists are tending to book later during the economic downturn, the Times reports.

Deputy director at the board's UK office Aziz Mnii said: "We want to put Morocco upfront of people thinking of which destination to visit."

Such a measure may help boost tourist numbers in Morocco, which in turn could be beneficial to those investing in property there.

Senior partner with the International Law Partnership John Howell told the Press and Journal last month that the growth of the holiday trade provides a good reason to invest in Moroccan property.

He noted that the government of the north African country has instigated a "ten-year infrastructure improvement plan with a view to boosting tourism".
