This threat weighing on Moroccan cities

This summer, Morocco experienced a summer of high tension, marked by a record influx of visitors. While tourism is a pillar of the Moroccan economy, this situation highlighted the challenges related to overtourism, particularly in certain cities.

The newspaper The Economist sounded the alarm, highlighting the harmful consequences of this overcrowding. Infrastructures, already put to the test in normal times, have reached their saturation point. Accommodation, catering, transport… everything has been undermined by this exceptional influx. This was the case, for example, in Martil, M’diq, Tangier, Tetouan, Chefchaouen and Agadir.
