For tourism professionals the Moroccan destination, among the seven countries most demanded in the Mediterranean basin, has been for the past decade "a sure value" and has witnessed during the past two years an impressive boom, attracting an increasing number of French tourists, the daily said.

The paper said that the Moroccan product meets the requirements of the French tourists who mostly prefer family holidays formula in addition to other assets such as proximity, good prices and exoticism.
