Morocco's tourism industry 'generating more money'
The revenue generated by Morocco's tourist industry is increasing, new figures have revealed.
Mohamed Boussaid, the country's tourism minister, told local press that the overall amount produced by the sector last year was likely to work out at more than £3.9 billion.
This compares with a figure of £3.5 billion recorded during 2006, which itself was 29.2% higher than during the previous year.
Commenting on the increase, Mr Boussaid was quoted by Panapress as saying: "We are far beyond the 2006 figures."
The data also shows a period of consistent growth in the sector during the last three years.
This means that demand for rental accommodation in Morocco will also be rising, which could make it a potentially good option for foreign property buyers to consider.
Plans to boost the country's tourism industry further are already underway, as the government is aiming to attract 10 million foreign visitors a year by 2010.
