02:28Since its inception in 1957, the Kingdom has had the honor of hosting the African Cup once, in 1988.
02:38It is named after that Cameroonian team, with a clear goal in front of the Nigerians, during a final scene hosted by the famous Mohamed V stadium.
02:48In the beginning, Zambia was chosen to host the famous version of the African Cup.
02:53However, in December 1986, it withdrew from the additional role due to financial difficulties,
03:00so that the African Union would reach football with Algeria to take on the task of hosting, and it agreed to the request.
03:07However, in February 1987, the decision was canceled after a dispute with Algeria, which argued for the decision of the African Cup,
03:16with the return of the gold medal in the general African Olympics, 78 against Tunisia,
03:22to choose the Union at the end of the Moroccan round, to host the version instead of Algeria.
03:28Morocco returned to the African front again, after it was going to organize the 2015 version,
03:35and due to the outbreak of the Ebola virus in parts of the continent, the Kingdom asked to postpone the championship,
03:41but the African Union of the game refused that, and the competitions were moved to Guinea, Switzerland.
03:48In the 2025 version, the Kingdom entered on September 27, 2023,
03:55the process of presenting second nominations after the return of Guinea to be chosen by voting,
04:01after a complete expansion of Algeria, which did not exceed the number of votes for its zero benefit.
04:07It is then a version that will be distinguished and exceptional from its predecessor,
04:12as it came to the tongue of Patrice Moutsepe, the head of the CAF,
04:15who commented on a phrase that will be the best in history,
04:19after a sports revolution recognized by the Kingdom of Morocco,
04:25in various sports genres, the most prominent of which is the world championship in the Qatari stadiums,
04:31and a infrastructure at the highest level, in addition to an experience gained from hosting Morocco
04:37for many regional and regional events, in addition to the international.
04:50Morocco's Tourism
04:58The President of the Government, Aziz Akhnouch,
05:00appreciated the historic and unprecedented achievement achieved by Morocco in the tourism field
05:05by attracting 17,400,000 tourists in 2024,
05:09and Akhnouch highlighted that he is proud of this great achievement.
05:15Morocco has achieved the ambitious goal of more than 2,026 in two years.
05:23As a result of this effective approach,
05:28we deserve to be proud of the exceptional achievements
05:33achieved by the tourism sector in this state,
05:37where our country was able to attract 17,400,000 tourists in 2024,
05:44as a historic and unprecedented achievement.
05:47This is the achievement that we will highlight in this presentation,
05:51and which is also reflected in the reports of the International Football Association,
05:57which recently awarded our country a distinguished ranking
06:01on the horizon of the organization of our country for the 2030 World Cup,
06:05and this is a source of pride for all of us.
06:09Ladies and gentlemen,
06:11These achievements would not have been achieved
06:15if it were not for a series of decisive measures
06:18taken by the Government in exceptional moments.
06:22In the first months of the government's appointment,
06:25we voluntarily implemented an unprecedented livelihood plan,
06:31with the aim of supporting and preserving workers' jobs
06:37and the appreciation of the Moroccan product,
06:39as well as increasing production.
06:42As for the reminder,
06:43we have worked closely with professionals
06:46and various smokers in the sector
06:48to implement an emergency plan for the value of blood donation
06:53in the face of the global health crisis.
06:56In the past, it was the first of its kind in our country
06:59to support the recovery and economic recovery,
07:02which is what enabled us to save the sector from collapse
07:06and to revive it in addition to the global economic crisis,
07:10which is difficult and very hard.
07:13And following this topic,
07:15we now have with us in the studio,
07:17Nizha Al-Mughari, the President of Tahrir,
07:18on the Median TV channel,
07:19specializing in the tourism sector.
07:21Nizha, welcome to us.
07:22Welcome.
07:24An unprecedented achievement achieved by Morocco in this sector.
07:27I would like to ask how Morocco was able to achieve
07:30these record numbers in the tourism sector.
07:33Thank you, Abdallah.
07:35First of all, it should be noted that this sector
07:39is of great interest to King Mohammed VI.
07:44Therefore, it is a vital sector
07:47and it employs many people.
07:49Therefore, it is a sector with great priority.
07:52It should also be noted what the government has done
07:57to support the sector after the pandemic.
08:00It supported it by preparing the roadmap
08:06and allocating a budget to support all hotels
08:10that are experiencing problems after the pandemic
08:13for refurbishment or reconstruction
08:17or reconstruction or new investments
08:19in these hotels.
08:21In other words, the preparation of the infrastructure
08:24after the pandemic.
08:26It is also a sector that benefited from the Qatar World Cup
08:31in 2022, which gave a great boost
08:34to the direction of the touristic kingdom.
08:37The introduction of Morocco to the world.
08:41It should also be noted that all professionals
08:46and activists in the sector for the successful return
08:51of the international touristic map
08:54to the Moroccan Kingdom.
08:56We can also say that Morocco's achievements
09:01in 2024 are included in the global performance
09:07of the tourism sector.
09:09Almost all countries were able to achieve achievements
09:15because the global performance was developing and improving.
09:20The Kingdom was also included in this global context.
09:26Morocco's achievements are also due to the promotional campaigns
09:33carried out by the Moroccan National Tourism Office
09:38targeting new markets.
09:41There are also extensive promotional campaigns
09:45either through the internet or by participating
09:50in festivals or saloons held abroad.
09:54As the head of the government said,
09:57this is a comprehensive vision
09:59and he talked about a comprehensive development vision
10:02in Morocco beyond 2030.
10:04This is very important.
10:06Of course.
10:07We will see that tourism is at the heart of the vision
10:12for the opening of new horizons.
10:14Morocco is the first tourist destination in Africa.
10:20How did Morocco manage to maintain all these achievements
10:25despite the great competition from many countries
10:28on the continental level?
10:30Let's give an example of Egypt.
10:32Egypt is also a global tourist destination since ancient times.
10:36We look at the monuments in Egypt
10:39and the great interest of Westerners
10:44who dedicate their time to visiting the monuments.
10:52We are proud that Morocco has become the first destination
10:57for tourism in Africa.
11:00Let's be precise.
11:02Morocco is the first destination in terms of the number of tourists.
11:08But in terms of willpower, Egypt is the first destination.
11:13Morocco...
11:15Exceeds Egypt in terms of the number of tourists.
11:18Exceeds Egypt in terms of the number of tourists,
11:20but not in terms of the willpower of the tourism sector.
11:23Morocco achieved 11 billion euros in 2024 in terms of willpower
11:31with 17.4 million tourists.
11:35Egypt achieved 14 billion euros with 15 million tourists.
11:41We wonder why the tourist coming to Morocco
11:48spends less than the tourist going to Egypt.
11:52This is a question that is raised.
11:55The type of tourist or the category that he belongs to,
11:59any segment, is he one of those with high purchasing power
12:04or is he a tourist who doesn't spend much?
12:07For example, Egypt benefits from a type of tourism.
12:13How?
12:14Egypt attracts tourists from Germany, Switzerland,
12:19Italy, and the Gulf countries.
12:22For example,
12:25only Saudi tourists in Egypt
12:30spent 1.5 billion dollars in 2024
12:37as a Saudi nationality.
12:41In order to survive in the international competition,
12:47we need to target far-reaching markets.
12:52Most of the tourists coming to Morocco
12:56are from France, Spain...
13:00Europe in general.
13:01Europe.
13:02In view of our geographical proximity to Europe,
13:05they visit short-term places.
13:10Therefore, those who stay in Morocco spend less
13:15and those who stay longer spend more.
13:17This is why Egypt benefits from this type of tourism
13:20because they go to Egypt for at least a week
13:24and spend more.
13:26Excuse me.
13:27As for the tourists who come to Morocco,
13:30especially for a short period of time,
13:32they don't spend much.
13:34Therefore, Egypt outperforms us in terms of
13:38hard-earned money from the tourism sector.
13:41Egypt is a tourist country
13:47and has other considerations.
13:49Morocco also has other considerations.
13:51Of course.
13:52Starting from the numbers you mentioned,
13:56there is a fierce competition on the level of tourism.
13:59Fierce.
14:00Yes.
14:01What are the steps that should be taken
14:04to maintain this competitiveness?
14:07The most important thing to do
14:12is to target far-reaching markets.
14:15The American, Asian, and Gulf markets.
14:18Tourists should be attracted to these markets
14:21because when you fly for 9 or 7 hours,
14:29you can't stay in Morocco for 4 days.
14:32You have to stay for at least a week
14:34and spend more.
14:35To attract this type of tourists,
14:38you have to pay more attention to the tourism product.
14:43Whether it's accommodation, roads, airports,
14:47entertainment and activities,
14:53you have to create new tourist areas
14:56and not just Morocco.
15:00Morocco has become international,
15:03but good doesn't belong to everyone.
15:0660% of Moroccan visitors
15:10only go to Morocco.
15:12Exactly.
15:1360% of tourists come to visit Morocco.
15:1840% of them are national tourists.
15:22As you mentioned,
15:25tourists from Europe, Africa, and so on.
15:30We have Moroccans from abroad
15:33and we also have domestic tourists.
15:35What is the contribution of domestic tourists to this achievement?
15:39The contribution of domestic tourists
15:42is 50% of Moroccan tourists.
15:5150%.
15:52For example, 50% of Moroccans travel to Morocco.
15:56The most important export market for Morocco
15:59is Al-Dar Al-Bayda.
16:01Al-Dar Al-Bayda exports about half of Moroccan tourists.
16:05Therefore, the local tourist
16:09should also pay attention
16:13and be prepared for the things he has to offer.
16:20Exactly.
16:21If we offer exports,
16:23we should also pay attention to the local tourist.
16:25The domestic tourists
16:28are close to Spain, France, and other countries.
16:35Therefore, we should also focus on this market.
16:39The question is,
16:40is the number of tourists equal?
16:44What we lack, Abdullah,
16:47is entertainment.
16:50If you want to attract tourists from the Gulf,
16:54it is not enough to visit the historical sites
17:00or the imperial villas.
17:03They want to shop in all parts of the Kingdom.
17:10We should diversify this tourism.
17:13We should create new tourist destinations.
17:16We should encourage different parties
17:20to create entertainment villages.
17:23Night activities,
17:25family activities during the day,
17:29connecting different parts of the Kingdom in good ways,
17:33encouraging airports,
17:36and creating tourist villages on the coast.
17:44Exactly.
17:45We should create new tourist destinations on the Atlantic coast.
17:50There are many things we should do
17:53to be successful in this fierce competition
17:56between Egypt and Africa.
17:58However, when we compare
18:05Spain, Algeria, and France,
18:08there is a difference.
18:09There are hundreds of millions of tourists.
18:13Morocco has been working on this for many years.
18:16As you said, there is tourism,
18:19but we need to work harder.
18:23Morocco, at the level of international conferences,
18:28has a strong presence.
18:31This is our role.
18:33The 2030 World Cup and major international competitions
18:38will also play a big role.
18:40The World Cup and major international competitions
18:43will also play a big role in promoting Morocco's tourism.
18:47If we remember the Qatar World Cup,
18:51we participated in the Qatar World Cup.
18:53The results were good
18:59in terms of tourism after the Qatar World Cup.
19:02What do you think about the Moroccan competitions?
19:06The arrival of Morocco to the fourth place
19:09has promoted Morocco a lot.
19:13The fact that there is a protest in Morocco
19:16and the activities that will take place
19:19is a very good thing.
19:20They will contribute to the tourism activities
19:23in a global way, not just African and Arab.
19:26All the indicators indicate that.
19:28We expect very positive results.
19:35Thank you, Ms. Zahra Al Mughari.
19:42The Minister of Foreign Affairs,
19:44the African and Moroccan Cooperation,
19:46who lives abroad,
19:47Nasser Bourita,
19:48has conducted research with the UN Secretary General
19:51for the International Tourism Organization,
19:53Zurab Boulolika Cheviri,
19:56who is visiting Morocco.
19:59During these researches,
20:00Minister Bourita highlighted the strategic partnership
20:03between Morocco and the International Tourism Organization,
20:05which has common priorities and a unified vision
20:09for the future of international tourism,
20:12emphasizing the role of the Kingdom
20:15as a leader in promoting sustainable tourism
20:17at the global level,
20:19in accordance with the lofty vision
20:21of His Majesty King Mohammed VI,
20:24which makes the tourism sector
20:26a pioneer for sustainable development
20:28and economic growth.
20:29As stated by the decision of the International Tourism Organization,
20:32the opening of a regional office
20:34for the organization in Morocco
20:36will be a platform for cooperation
20:39between the Kingdom,
20:41the United Nations,
20:43and the member states in the organization.
20:46The Ministers of Foreign Affairs
20:48of the European Union
20:49agreed on a roadmap
20:50to ease the sanctions against Syria,
20:52which was imposed during the regime of Bashar al-Assad.
20:55The foreign policy official
20:57in the coalition,
20:58Kaya Kalassina,
20:59said that this step
21:00would give a boost to the Syrian economy
21:02and help it return to normalcy.
21:04Kalassina said that the coalition
21:06wants to move quickly,
21:08but it can withdraw from lifting the sanctions
21:11if wrong decisions are made in Damascus.
21:14Nevertheless,
21:15the United Nations is working
21:17to increase humanitarian aid.
21:19The European Union imposed sanctions
21:21on the Assad regime
21:22and entire sectors of the Syrian economy
21:25during the Syrian revolution.
21:30The West Bank
21:33met the Palestinians
21:35in an Israeli bombing
21:37aimed at the camp of Noor Shams
21:39in Toul Karm.
21:40The Israeli army confirmed this bombing
21:43and said in a statement
21:45that in a joint operation
21:47between the Israeli army
21:49and the network,
21:51a plane carrying air weapons
21:53attacked the area of Toul Karm.
21:57After a few hours,
21:58the White House announced
22:00that Colombia accepted the conditions
22:02imposed by US President Donald Trump
22:04for the return of illegal immigrants
22:06to their homeland.
22:07It is clear that the sanctions
22:09announced yesterday
22:10will be lifted immediately.
22:12Trump had promised
22:13to impose sanctions on the Syrian people
22:15for the return of illegal immigrants
22:17to their homeland.
22:18It is clear that the sanctions
22:20announced yesterday
22:22will be lifted immediately.
22:24It is clear that Trump had promised
22:26to impose severe sanctions
22:28on Colombia
22:29after he prevented his Colombian counterpart
22:32from entering his country
22:34with US military planes
22:36to evacuate Colombians.
22:38Trump said on social media
22:40that the rejection of Colombia
22:42for these trips
22:43will expose the national security
22:45and public safety
22:46of the United States to danger.
22:48He also directed his administration
22:50to take immediate and decisive
22:52action against illegal immigrants.
22:56This is the end of the broadcast.
23:00Goodbye.
