Morocco is the Future!

The King Mohammed VI came to power in 1999 sice then he has already made many positive changes in the country.

The King is extremely popular amongst the Moroccan people, he has the support of the whole country.

The King's Vision:

(Known as Vision 2010 & Plan Azur):

• 10 million tourists to be attracted annually by 2010
  [This is already becoming a reality – tourist figures have jumped from 4.2m to 7m]
• $10 Billion to be invested in infrastructure
  [Again, this is already underway with miles upon miles of new motorways, railways including high speed trains and airport improvements already completed]
• 6 New luxury coastal resorts
  [Construction is already in progress e.g: Port Lixis]
• “Open Skies” policy encouraging flights from all over Europe

The Tunnel

There are plans for the construction of a tunnel linking Spain and Morocco. In 2003 an article published by the BBC stated:
“The Spanish Development Ministry said two adjacent tunnels will run beneath the Straits of Gibraltar to Morocco. They are planned to run between Punta Paloma, 40 km west of Gibraltar and Punta Malabata near Tangiers.”
It is without doubt that such a construction have a positive effect on Morocco’s strategic importance and on property values within the country.
