Morocco

In terms of entrepreneurship, Morocco’s diversity offers its people many opportunities to improve their employability in numerous sectors. Nevertheless, the country’s often weak infrastructure, which is marked by insufficient opportunities and resources, undermines Moroccans’ ability to exercise their full economic potential.

Resilience in tourism 
The COVID-19 pandemic brought tourism worldwide to a standstill. What are the factors that help to increase resilience in this sector? Sustainability in tourism means not only implementing an environmental project or drawing up a green business plan. Sustainability in tourism is much more about linking tourism development with approaches to renovate the sector from the ground up. This in turn makes regional economies and tourist destinations more resistant to economic adversity.
