Morocco expands tourism strategy in Western Sahara amid regional tensions
Morocco is expanding tourism development across Western Sahara, investing in infrastructure, hospitality and coastal tourism projects as part of wider economic plans for the disputed territory. New resorts, transport improvements and tourism initiatives are being promoted in destinations such as Dakhla, which Morocco is positioning as a hub for adventure tourism, kitesurfing and international events.
The developments form part of Morocco’s broader strategy to strengthen its administrative and economic presence in the region, which remains disputed between Morocco and the Polisario Front. Tourism has increasingly become a central component of the country’s long-term investment approach, with authorities aiming to attract both international visitors and private-sector investment into the territory.
