 | | Morocco has already accomplished a lot in this field, mainly by securing a substantial increase in tourism investments, and by bringing accommodation capacity up to 10,000 new beds in the year 2003, compared to an average of 1,500 new beds per annum in the second half of the 1990's. |
 | | Indeed our objective is to ensure that Morocco continues to be trusted internationally as a genuine, peaceful and attractive tourist destination, both in the short term and in the long run when we have carried through our ambitious projects which are bound to stimulate the real take-off of the tourism industry. |
 | | I should point out that there is a direct correlation between tourism and all other sectors and activities in a nation such as ours which is known for its tranquillity, the beauty of its scenery and for the attractiveness of its monuments and other aspects of its civilization. |
