A year earlier, in 2011, 9.3 million tourists visited Morocco and spent 56.7 billion dirham.Morocco is very depending on tourism. Therefore, the Government has developt the "Vision 2020" promotion strategy to get Morocco onto the next level when it comes to tourism.Ambitious target is to get 20 million tourists by 2020 and 150 billion dirham tourist revenues. The Kingdom also wants to get into the top 20 of best destinations in the world.
Morocco still has great potential hidden in places like Fez, the Eastside of the country, upcoming golf sport and is more and more focussing on ECO tourism. There still is a long road to go but it is obvious to every one that this is one of the programs that most easily involves the lowest social classes where there still needs to be done a lot.
