 [File] Douiri |
Tourism numbers in Morocco reached 6.4 million in 2006 -- a 10% increase year-on-year, Tourism Minister Adil Douiri said Wednesday (January 10th). The industry was sparked by $6m of annual government investments, as well as additional financing of hotels and sector professionals. In 2001, Morocco adopted the "Vision 2010" strategy that envisages 10 million tourists by 2010. The strategy also aims to create 160,000 beds, bringing the national capacity to 230,000 beds and creating 600,000 new jobs. (MAP)
