Weston, CT Phoenix Mt. Lakes, NJ Vancouver Toronto London Madrid New Delhi Singapore Hong Kong Sydney São Paulo Buenos Aires Newport, RI HALFWAY THROUGH THE VISION 2010 PLAN TIME-FRAME – WHAT HAS BEEN ACHIEVED SO FAR AND WHAT OF THE FUTURE? Morocco As has been much documented already, Morocco has immense plans and ambitions to become a tourist destination to enable it to compete effectively alongside other Mediterranean countries such as Spain, Italy and Greece. To briefly recap, the king of Morocco announced in January 2001 that tourism had been identified as a national priority; the government’s ‘Vision 2010’ (or ‘Plan Azur’) strategy embodied this strategy. From the outset the key objectives of Vision 2010 were as follows. To increase tourist numbers to 10 million per annum by 2010; The development of six new coastal resorts; The construction of 80,000 new hotel bedrooms, with two-thirds to be in seaside destinations; 600,000 New jobs to be created in the hotel and tourism industry. Alongside these objectives, which were essentially focused on the mass tourism sector, cities such as Marrakech and Casablanca also set out their own strategies to develop their share of the tourism market. These plans were launched at a time when the world economy was continuing to grow; however, this situation very quickly changed in 2001.

  • From Hotel Accommodation to Residential Tourism in Morocco
    Cuadernos de Turismo, nº 27, (2011); pp. 1091-1093 Universidad de Murcia ISSN: 1139-7861 FROM HOTEL ACCOMMODATION TO RESIDENTIAL TOURISM IN MOROCCO. BETWEEN REAL ESTATE BUSINESS AND SOCIO-SPATIAL IMAGE REMAKING Carmen Gil de Arriba Universidad de Cantabria [email protected] This article aims to analyse the recent evolution and impacts of tourism in Morocco. In the context of financial globalization, tourism has become a major sector of activity in this country. Simultaneously with the expansion of receiving tourism, multinational companies are growing in numbers. These processes have economic, social and territorial effects. It is in this manner that many new tourist resorts have been created, particularly in coastal areas. In addition, urban and architectural heritage are attractive for tourists who are interested in the cultural background. Nevertheless, tourism is the object of ambiguous and opposite interpretations: it can be beneficial for some or harmful for others, to the point of being measured as a form of neo-colonialism: tourists activity shows an economic and cultural domination adding to the colonial heritage and the current uneven development. 1. INTRODUCTION: THE GENERAL CONTEXT OF TOURISM IN MOROCCO Between 2008 and 2009, a period of general recession in western countries, about 95000 new jobs were created in Morocco, principally in services and construction sectors and located in urban areas. These numbers could be considered as the indication of an apparent socio-economical change. Going back in the time, from the 80s and more particularly from the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS), signed in Marrakech in 1994, Morocco has added to the list of international agreements and treaties in favour of trade liberalisation.

Indeed, this contribution aims determining rapid changes in land cover and land use and modeling of soil erosion in the study area where we have little data and that soil losses are mainly water. Analysis of satellite data has identified six main types of land (Land severely degraded, cereal, mix cereal and tree crops, trees, and reforestation) in the watershed of Oued El Mellah north the city of Fez (Morocco).The loss of soil have been estimated by the RUSLE module integrated into the GIS Idrisi. The results allow the identification of sectors across the basin where interventions are needed to limit the process of land degradation. Keywords: Erosion, GIS, Idrisi, Oued El Mellah, Fez Morocco 1. Introduction Soil erosion is a growing problem in the north of Morocco, particularly in the Pre-Rif domain.
