External and internal factors to Morocco tourism industry.

Morocco is currently witnessing an economic development of the national

tourism

sector as well as its significant contribution to

this

country’s GDP.

However

, despite receiving the recognition of several Moroccan officials within the field about its spectacular growth regardless of national or international events, Morocco is believed to be under the adverse influence of elements from both inside and outside the

industry

.

To begin

with, it is undeniable that the attraction of

this

country lies in its idyllic beauty and cultural diversity,

nevertheless

, a number of visitors have expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of infrastructure there, particularly in rural areas. Given that the charm of

development in which terrorism should be the

first

to mention. To clarify, a recent study conducted by Morocco’s

tourism

Ministry has shown a steep drop in the total number of visitors after the terrorist attacks which took place in 2003 and 2007.

As a result

, the travel

industry

was heavily affected and the government needs to make every effort to put an end to

this

problem. Another key point which affected all industries, not to mention the travel

industry

, of not only Morocco but other countries is the recent financial crisis.

This

crisis has resulted in a 10% decrease in the GNP of Morocco’s

tourism

revenues in the period 2008-2010. Despite all of these considerations, the Moroccan

tourism

industry

has the ability to thrive and escape the detrimental impact of all of these issues, which can be accomplished by modernizing all facilities and developing telecommunications.
