Why Do People Choose Morocco?

A Rich Blend of Cultures and Locales
What makes people interested in any place, especially Morocco? In a recent episode of the Destination Morocco podcast, host Azdean podcast producer Ted take a step outside their day-to-day immersion in Morocco to reflect on what brings travellers to the country, and leads to them choosing to visit. More than anything, Morocco stands out primarily due to its distinct mix of different influences from Africa, the Middle East, and Europe, shaping its unique mix of cultures, religions, backgrounds, and languages.

Changes in Perception and Popularity
Exploring whether the appeal has been constant or has changed, a significant recent change in Morocco's perception and popularity is occurring, especially after globally-watched events like the World Cup. It was further heightened due to unfortunate incidents such as the earthquake, which made people question, "Where is Morocco?" and, "Is Morocco safe?" Whether positive or negative, overall interest and curiosity about Morocco has seen a shift in just the past few months, with more people seeing it as a fascinating destination.

Debunking Assumptions about Morocco
Interestingly, many people often confuse Morocco with Monaco, revealing a lack of awareness. People generally don't know about the diverse culture, vibrant life, and distinct music of Morocco. Yet, the longer they stay or dive deeper into exploring this country, their perceptions begin to change, making Morocco a transformational, not just a travel, experience.

The Moroccan Experience: Flexible Itineraries for Individual Tastes
From a traveller's perspective, no two experiences of Morocco are quite the same. This is reflected in Destination Morocco's promise to offer fully customized itineraries for all its guests. No one-size-fits-all approach is applied here, from the initial planning phase to on-the-fly changes. Each guest can choose their priorities and have a Moroccan trip that suits their interests and curiosities.

Europeans vs. Americans: Perceiving Morocco Differently
Due to their proximity, it is fair to say that Europeans seem to be about 30 years ahead of the United States in terms of familiarity with Morocco. Europeans have been hopping over there for years, and famous names like Yves Saint-Laurent. While Europe has a stronger connection with Morocco, a trend towards exploring Morocco from North America seems to be on the rise. With direct flights from Miami, Washington D.C., and New York, this trend will likely spike.

Proud Moroccans Embrace Diverse Cultural Identity
How do native Moroccans feel about their identity? They take immense pride in their African identity. There's an instant bond and trust among African nations, attributing to Morocco's unique cultural landscape. Furthermore, Morocco's efforts to expand its tourism appeal beyond Europe and towards North America solidify its identity as a diverse, appealing destination.

Beyond a Bucket List Country
Though often placed as a bucket list country, it's time for Morocco to evolve into a regular choice for travelers worldwide. Its cultural richness, diversity, and the sheer magnificence demand more than just a one-time visit. With Morocco's efforts to attract North American tourists, and the advent of direct flights, it promises to become a more accessible destination.

So, as Azdean from Destination Morocco suggests - if exploring the enchanting land of Morocco is your dream, let Destination Morocco bring your dream Moroccan vacation to life. Your amazing Moroccan experience awaits!
