  • 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.

  • Practices of Territorial Marketing in Morocco: a Study of the Experience of Tangier
    IBIMA Publishing Journal of North African Research in Business http://www.ibimapublishing.com/journals/JNARB/jnarb.html Vol. 2016 (2016), Article ID 793075 , 22 Pages DOI: 10.5171/2016. 793075 Research Article Practices of Territorial Marketing in Morocco: A Study of the Experience of Tangier Fadoua Laghzaoui and Mostafa Abakouy University of Abdelmalek Essaâdi, Tangier, Morocco Correspondence should be addressed to: Mostafa Abakouy; [email protected] Received date : 3 March 2015; Accepted date : 27 November 2015; Published date : 11 May 2016 Academic editor: Ikram Radhouane Fgaier Copyright © 2016. 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. Our of territorial regimes throughout time has research on the marketing of regions will corresponded not only to periods of be seen directly in this perspective.

Pour l’activité d’une fondation politique allemande au Maroc, Tanger offre certains points de départ les plus précieux et les plus productifs. Cela ne concerne pas les réminiscences de l’histoire coloniale allemande, qui sont encore associées à Tanger, mais l’importance politique et économique actuelle de la ville et la restructuration de la région de Tanger- Tétouan-Al Hoceima en 2015. Les deux, la ville et la région, comptent parmi les plus actives, les plus dynamiques et les plus cosmopolites du pays. Elles reflètent en conséquence de manière particulièrement claire le potentiel de développement actuel du Maroc.

L’influenza multiculturale ne ha fatto un luogo di ispirazione artistica. Il fascino delle sue stradine, tra folle variopinte, mercati degli odori intensi e l’atmosfera che vi si respira esercitano un’irresistibile attrazione.

  • David-Arditti-Tangier-1940S-50S.Pdf
    TANGIER 1940S & 50S DAVID ARDITTI For Nina Translated and edited by Sarah Ardizzone; Design and production by Carole Courtillé, Atelier Dyakova With special thanks to Sarah Ardizzone, Carole Courtillé, Sonya Dyakova, Nina Kidron, Helen Thomas and Gemma Wain for the book, and to Ann Bone, Myriam Cherti, Katy Hepburn and Paul Thompson for the exhibition Tangier 1940s & 50s David Arditti tabletwo productions – London Drawings for Friends These drawings were originally penned as eleven graphic letters to my lifelong friend, Giorgio Segre. They were inspired by shared memories, as well as some animated conversations about our childhood in Tangier, and they were sent between 2003 and 2004. Giorgio was living in Lausanne at the time, and terminally ill. Personal as they are, my sketches also describe the colonial experience of growing up in Tangier during the two decades prior to Moroccan independ- ence. And so, in December 2008, four years after I sent them to Giorgio, the letters were included in an exhibition at the British Library, ‘Moroccan Memories in Britain’. (The exhibition was based on an oral and visual archive of three generations of Moroccans migrating to and living in Britain.) With this book I hope to share my correspondence with a wider circle of friends, as a way of carrying on the conversation. Please indulge any narra- tive shortfalls; these letters were never intended to be read in quick succession, but I trust they might communicate something of daily life in Tangier in the 1940s and 50s. So how does the book work? Well, my original French explanations are an integral part of the letters themselves.

At the crossroads of seas and continents, where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic and Europe meets Africa, stands the city of Tangier, its face turned resolutely towards the sea. There is something altogether unique about the town, something impalpable, indefinable – a sense of freedom that hangs in the air like the scent of orange blossom. Henri Matisse called Tangier “the painter’s paradise”, and when Eugène Delacroix first experienced the city, he exclaimed, “I’ve just been looking round the town, and at the moment feel like a man caught up in a dream, seeing things he is afraid will finally escape him”. Paul Bowles referred to The Palais des Hôtes it as a “dream city”, and no visit will deny that it only takes a few hours’ acquaintance with the place to fall helplessly under its spell.
