The government in Morocco has announced plans to develop several new tourist areas in the country to help achieve its goal of attracting ten million visitors by 2010.
Tourism minister Mohamed Boussaid said $14.4 million would be spent creating desert and oasis resorts in the southern regions of Errachidia, Ouarzazate and Zagora, Maghreb Arabe Presse reports.
Hotel units will be built in these resorts alongside camping grounds and other facilities to cater for tourists holidaying in the north African country.
Mr Boussaid said the government hopes to integrate areas of Morocco where tourism projects are currently lacking by promoting their natural beauty.
The development of the new resorts and the drive to attract more tourists may be good news for property investors in Morocco, who could benefit from increased demand for holiday accommodation.
Official figures show that between January and October 2007 the number of tourists visiting Morocco increased by 14 per cent to reach 6.3 million.
