Summer holidays: Moroccans flee the high cost of the coast

The high cost of food in some coastal tourist areas exceeds that of European regions and the overpriced tourist offers push most Moroccans to consider spending their holidays in foreign countries such as Spain, Italy and Portugal.

A summer that rhymes with the high cost of living. Many Moroccans have filed complaints with the Consumer Protection Association to denounce the surge in food prices and various services in tourist cities, particularly coastal cities since the start of the summer holidays. It emerges from testimonies circulating on social networks that food prices in some coastal tourist areas exceed those of some European countries. “This represents greed exercised against the Moroccan consumer,” denounce Moroccan Internet users.
