Moroccan Youth Hostels Lack Funds
2004-11-23
The Moroccan newspaper Le Matin reports the country desperately needs funding to rejuvenate its youth hostels suffering from structural and managerial neglect. There are currently 14 hostels in Morocco's major cities with most visitors coming from Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, the UK, Egypt, and Tunisia.
Morocco joined the International Youth Hostel Association in 1936, when the first hostel opened in Casablanca. A few years later, Morocco became the first African and Arab country with its own youth hostel federation. (albawaba.com)

In the name of God, and after greetings, I thank the staff working on this site and this suggestion, but I was searching the net for the Royal Federation of Youth Hostels and didn't find them, but I came across another site on the search site which isn't related to the Youth Hostels, they're all immersed in tourism and shiny pictures, they no longer exist in Morocco; if only the Royal Federation of Youth Hostels set up its site in all languages with the list of Youth Hostels in Morocco, a map of their location for every site, family members and facilities. They should also indicate all information to make it easy for the searchers such as the phone numbers and emails. Thanks to the staff of this site. Your brother Mohamed Bouchikhi.
