Morocco featured recently in Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Seyassah which highlighted the kingdom’s growing reputation as one of the world’s premier tourist destinations, due to its long history, enchanting natural beauty, and diverse cultural heritage.
A news article published in the paper on October 1 described the vibrant experience of tourists exploring the narrow alleys of Morocco’s ancient medinas, where the lively markets are filled with the aromas of incense and spices and the walls tell century-old stories.
The article highlighted the many cultural landmarks around the Kingdom and presented a vast array of tourism activities available in each Moroccan city for its Kuwaiti audience.
It also highlighted Morocco’s growing sport tourism industry, citing surfing, golfing, and fishing, among others.
Morocco’s success in growing its bustling tourism industry is thanks to the strategic vision of King Mohammed VI, the paper reported.
The Kingdom has strengthened its global position in the industry through significant investments in infrastructure and services, transforming Moroccan cities into prosperous tourist hubs with world-class hotels and amenities.
During the first eight months of 2024 alone, Morocco’s tourism revenues surged to a record MAD 76.4 billion, according to Morocco’s Ministry of Tourism, Handicrafts, Social, and Solidarity Economy.
Kuwait and Morocco, both constitutional monarchies, have long-standing relations characterized by strong diplomatic, economic, and cultural ties.
The two countries have shared a cooperative partnership for decades, often aligning on regional and international issues.
Morocco and Kuwait established formal diplomatic relations in 1962, and since then, they have maintained a collaborative relationship through mutual respect and shared interests.
In 2020, the Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry welcomed the United States’ decision to recognize Morocco’s full sovereignty over all of its territories.
As part of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Kuwait has been in support of the Moroccan Sahara and the Kingdom’s territorial integrity.
