Moroccan tourism on the up…

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010

…where will it end, we ask ourselves?

Just three to four years ago Marrakech airport had one terminal. Now it has a fabulous main terminal building which dwarfs the original.

And now there’s a tender out for the construction of a third one – along with a second terminal at Fez!

Apparently by 2013 Marrakech will be able to handle 10 million passengers a year – more than double its current capacity.

Of course if you’re heading to Essaouira you can also use Agadir – or our local airport…still waiting for routes other than Paris/Casablanca!
