Research Paper Anisa Nach ... Tion. The Weavers in Tangier What measures can Tangier’s Weavers Association take for the revival and future prosperity of the craft, in response to an ageing work force and a declining tourist market? Anisa Nachett 7/04/17 Student number: 4410459 Preface When I first started out, little did I realise the gem that I would stumble across in finding the Weavers of Tangier. From the many hours of listening to their stories to watching them mystically play with their looms, it can only be referred to as a real honour to have been accepted into their special lives. The further I delved into their world, the more important it became for their voices to be heard in the face of their adversities. This is by no means the solution to their problems, but merely an attempt to open up a dialogue about considerations and possibilities for the future. Perhaps this paper can offer a platform to raise awareness of the challenges they are facing and offer some guidance that can be taken in the years to come. I believe this promise could not only preserve the expertise of this valuable weaving knowledge, but could also open up economic, social and further cultural opportunities in the wake of a dramatically developing Tangier. These are opportunities that would be senseless to miss out on. The intricate craft knowledge still exists and can still enrich the future of the city. A special thanks to Gonzalo Gonzalez de Diego, Sophia Tourabi, Khedidja Benniche, Meriem Benniche, Eva Tabbasam, Hajera Memon, Sean Payne and John Heintz. I wish to also whole heartedly thank my cousins Oussama, Amina and Asmae Boumghait whose undeniably strong desire to help me out in Morocco opened up incredible doors to the weaving craft in Tangier. Without them it would not be where it is today. Last but not least, I am forever indebted to the craftsman at the Fondouq, whose openness and willingness to help was just simply a powerful source of motivation and inspiration for me. In what started out as a friendship progressively changed as adoption to the Fondouq family. 2 Table of Contents Preface

  • Destination of the Month: Tangier, Morocco
    Destination of the Month: Tangier, Morocco A mere eight miles across the Strait of Gibraltar from Spain, Richard Allemanfinds an exotic new world in a legendary North African city that has everything from cool cafés and new boutique hotels to glorious beaches, a fascinating history, and the world’s most famous kasbah. The Best Beaches Boasting a stellar location on the Strait of Gibraltar, with the Mediterranean to the east and the Atlantic to the west, Tangier is one of the world’s great beach towns. The city itself sits on a sweeping expanse of sand that’s edged with beach clubs, cafés, and discos. The town beach, favored by local youths for swimming and soccer, and with its crowds and sometimes polluted water, is not recommended for tourists, but there are glorious alternatives. This season, the plage du jour isPlage de Sidi Kacem, about 20 kilometers west of town, beyond the Cap Spartel lighthouse and the Mirage resort. Here, in a garden by the sea, local restaurateurs Rémi Tulloue and Philippe Morin have created the chic French bistrot L’Océan ( 05.3933.8137), an idyllic spot for a long leisurely lunch. For the serious surf set, on the same beach Philippe and Rémi have recently opened Club de Plage,with chaise longues and thatched umbrellas right on the sand. For the ultimate beach experience, however, drive down to Asilah, an enchanting little coastal town about an hour south of Tangier, where a few kilometers away, a rough, sandy road leads to Paradise Beach—a cliff-backed beauty, reminiscent of the Greek islands, with shack cafés that rent umbrellas and chaises and serve fresh grilled fish and simple tagines (stews) made with chicken and bright local veggies.

Fadoua Laghzaoui And Mostafa Abakouy. Distributed under Creative Commons CC-BY 4.0 Abstrac t The purpose of this research is to discuss the territorial marketing and analyze its application to the city of Tangier. Our approach was, firstly, to seize the regional marketing effort of Tangier in its temporal dynamics (Past-present-future) and, secondly, to decline this marketing: marketing to residents, tourism marketing and marketing to investors. The main results of our research show that marketing as designed and conducted in Tangier is insufficient and unsatisfactory. Such shortcomings have led us to formulate recipes that can improve the image, attractiveness and competitiveness of the city. Keywords: Territorial Marketing, Tangier, Tourism Marketing, Attractive Investment, Welfare of Citizens Context and the Problematic of De one can predict that the evolution of Research Morocco rests on the region and that de state with territorial organization is In Morocco, the affirmation of the existence substituted for the unitary state.
