The smile of the North African garden China nods, a valuable recognition of a tourist power
At this time, the most important ones are Spain, the United States, France, and China in fourth place. Because of this, in 2010 the North African country of Morocco launched it"A tourism powerhouse"The plan has been the laughing stock of major European tourism institutions for a long time, but in 2018, the Moroccan tourism industry quietly "rose" with the support of China...
Morocco is a very unique country in Africa, it occupies an important strategic position on the two seas, from 1830, Spain launched a war against France to fight for the territory of Morocco, and finally the two kingdoms divided Morocco to form an independent kingdom, began to migrate outward, and also began to exploit agriculture and mineral deposits, so that Morocco has a high level of economy and industry in Africa.
Morocco gained independence in 1956, implemented a market economy, attracted a large amount of capital into the mining, construction, manufacturing and other industries, and has always developed the fastest in Africa, while the living standards of the people of South Africa have surpassed this country. Morocco has a long history and constant blending and conflict with European civilizations, so it is also known as the "Garden of North Africa".
Since the beginning of the 21st century, Morocco has changed its course, increasing its investment in tourism and increasing its funding for coastal infrastructure and the protection of historic sites. The 2010 Vision declared Morocco to host 20 million foreign tourists by 2020, making it one of the 20 best tourist destinations in the world.
In fact, Morocco has set a high target, and although it has 13 million foreign tourists since 2013, most of it is concentrated in European countries such as France and Spain, whose income accounts for only 11 percent of GDP3%, which is still a long way from the 20% target. So Morocco has set its sights on China, the largest country in the world.
On February 1, 2018, the Moroccan Minister of Tourism and Economy announced at a seminar on tourism cooperation held in Moca and Sablanca that direct flights between China and Morocco will soon be launched, and greater efforts will be made in hotels and transportation facilities to improve the foreign language proficiency and acceptance of Chinese tourists, and strive to achieve more than 500,000 Chinese tourists a year by 2020.
Although the number of Chinese people going to Morocco is only 100,000, with the opening of direct flights and visa-free exemptions, the goal of 500,000 Chinese a year has become within reach, and with China's help, will those who laugh at Morocco still laugh at them?
In fact, Morocco is also a good destination, since the release of "Casablanca" and Deng Jia's travelogue "North African Garden Morocco" became popular, Chinese are full of curiosity about this distant country.
Morocco has been called "Africa's most brilliant jewel" by many European countries, especially its Marrakech, Medina, the Royal Palace of Bahia, and the markets and squares that can be found everywhere. Moroccans have a gentle personality and respect for religion, and even in the crowded squares, they do not go about their own business as usual, smiling and greeting passers-by.
Morocco is also a country that attaches great importance to tourism, and even the armed police and guards have guns, but they still "wander" the streets aimlessly. No one who travels to Morocco will say that there is a safety problem here, unless it is a joke posted by a netizen on Zhihu: hundreds of people in Casablanca are filming, but a cute little girl was stolen by a man with three mobile phones. In the end, everyone agreed that this is true love. But the girl said, "I was really scared, so I agreed, and it didn't hurt me."
Morocco's various tourism resources are a unique experience for Chinese, with both Saharan weather and clean coast like the Mediterranean. African and European cultures blended together, resulting in many European buildings, but with some indigenous featuresSimilar to China**, but enjoy European-style service. Morocco is also a good tourist destination, there is a luxury hotel that can live for a few thousand dollars a day, and another family lives on the beach, more than thirty dollars a meal, a ten-dollar cup of coffee, and you can enjoy the sea for a day.
In Morocco, the best gifts I recommend are the fruits from North Africa, as well as the handmade products of Casablanca, Moroccans are willing to bargain, but still have to communicate politely so that they can make a good impression.
The image of the world's second largest economic power has long left a deep imprint on the hearts of the Moroccan people, and as the exchanges between the two countries have deepened, the friendly relations between the two countries have also been strengthened. Moroccans are very good at sycophants, and it is not uncommon for people to be asked to take photos on the street, if you are asked to take photos with Chinese, they will definitely answer: Chinese are good-looking, good-looking....Don't believe me?Then give it a try!
