Soaring prices are ruining Moroccans’ holidays

Rising prices for tourist services are forcing many Moroccans to abandon their travel plans this summer, or to reduce the length of their vacations.

The galloping inflation has severely affected the purchasing power of Moroccans who are forced to go into debt to meet their basic needs and afford summer vacations. “Unlike in previous years, it is likely that consumption will decrease, especially since the summer vacations come directly after Eid al-Adha on the one hand, and the start of the school year on the other,” explains the site Al3omk The expert and economic analyst, Khalid Ben Ali, who also notes an exaggerated increase in the prices of hotel services, stressing that if they do not cancel their trips, Moroccans will probably reduce the length of their stays.
