Morocco is a hot tourist destination for many people from every corner of the globe. The government has made a conscious effort to make tourism the number one industry in the country.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The Moroccan economy has been growing steadily for the last few years.

There is such diversity you can hardly want to miss anything. The strong culture lures one and all to explore the colorful lives of the Moroccans.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”2.

SOUTH AFRICA – Every country in the world displays some diversity, but South Africa, stretching from the hippos in the Limpopo River to the penguins waddling on the Cape, takes some beating. It befits its position at the southern end of the world’s most epic continent, with more types of terrain than photographers can shake their zoom lens at.

There’s the deserted Kalahari, Namakwa’s springtime symphony of wildflowers, iconic Table Mountain and Cape Point, Kruger National Park’s wildlife-stalked savannah (scene of the famous lion-buffalo-crocodile battle watched more than 75 million times on YouTube) and, running through the east of the country and into Lesotho, the Drakensberg. KwaZulu-Natal’s iSimangaliso Wetland Park alone has five distinct ecosystems, attracting both zebras and dolphins.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”11309″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”appear”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”3.

Tunisia, 6.0 million International tourist arrivals

TUNISIA – Often seen as simply a beach destination, Tunisia has a bucket-full of surprises for those that venture off the sandy shores. This is North Africa wrapped up into one, bite-sized package with vast Sahara dunes, mammoth ancient ruins and exotic cities that are home to a sprawling tangle of souks.

Tunisia was Rome’s breadbasket, and the cultural riches the Romans left behind are more than enough reason to visit. But the history of Arab Empires has also bestowed the country with some of the region’s most beautiful examples of Islamic architecture.

When you’ve craned your neck at Kairouan’s minarets and played Gladiator at El Djem, it’s time to head into the Sahara to sample the raw, empty beauty of the desert. The sun-soaked beaches of the Mediterranean coastline, fringed by palms and lapped by gentle waves, will still be waiting for you when you get back.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
