The next most important public are Morocco’s tourists. Tourism is the country’s
second biggest revenue generating industry, and in 2017, a record 12.8 million
tourists visited Morocco. Many tourists find themselves on the beaches of
Casablanca, enjoying the beautiful scenery and local cuisine. The majority of visitors
are upper-class couples, however, many young tourists through study abroad
programs. For example, Semester at Sea makes a stop in Morocco this year. This
public has the potential to influence bringing tourists to Morocco by word of mouth,
and also may return themselves. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that their
experience is extremely memorable and impactful.
Although Morocco might not have as many worldwide A-list celebrities as the
United States, they do possess a true man amongst the people, French Montana.

Twitter followers throughout an extensive music career. Besides the rapper, their

Morocco Has Strong Potential For Growth of Tourism and the Economy
As travellers are looking for their next destination, they are looking for someplace
different and exciting. Morocco is that place. The variation and vibrant culture will
draw in more and more visitors which in turn will boost the economy as these
tourists support local businesses and companies. In 2018 over 12 million people
visited Morocco which was an 8% increase from 2017. With the way that the
country is improving we can see that the number of tourists will only go up.

Female Empowerment Starts
In Sports
The plethora of sports in the Kingdom of Morocco have been a big part of the
foundation of their society. Although they are known for their variety of water sports,
golf, hiking and horseback riding activities, football happens to be the most popular.
These sporting events not only gather the local population but all the visiting tourists
as well. Sporting events are a great way to bring revenue into Morocco and
implement community building. While sports is one of the greatest parts about the
country’s culture, there is an underlying problem with gender inequality deeply-
rooted into the society that needs to be resolved.
Think Globally
Many private American institutions have foreign centers in which they build
a smaller education facility in remote countries. Most study abroad programs in
Morocco are currently run by third-party organizations or small centers that are
partnered with American universities. These programs aid in the transition from
the States to Morocco, help students with classes and housing. These facilities
are run by Moroccan institutions and are staffed majorly by Moroccan
professors. Think Inc. wants to create a more cooperative experience by
partnering with private American universities and implement individual study
abroad centers for their institutions in Morocco.
The American study abroad centers will create facilities for both American
and Moroccan students to utilize. They will implement modern technology and
teaching styles to provide students with the highest education possible. These
centers will be located in or near cities like Marrakech, Rabat or Casablanca for
students to be near bigger cities and have access to many different
experiences.
THINK INC. MOROCCO PROPOSAL/ 14
The price of Moroccan institutions is a large reason why there is a lack of
attendance (Akoch, Quora). The American institutions will provide scholarships
and discounts for Moroccan students, increasing overall Moroccan enrollment in
higher education systems.
Many of the educators will come from American institutions, but Moroccan
professors will be hired so students can have a more immersive experience.
Moroccan universities are taught in French while the primary and secondary
schools are taught in Arabic (Kjeilen, Education). Moroccan teachers will know at
least both Arabic and French to aid in the student's transition to higher education.
Moroccan instructors will also obtain a higher compensation through American
schools. On average, Moroccan professors are paid 171, 271 dirhams (around
$18,000 dollars) on average per year compared to American professors who are
paid $75, 000 (cite?) Because of this, many Moroccan educators lack in
establishing a strong educational environment for their students. This higher pay
coming from the American institutions will not only be an incentive, but also a
reward for maintaining a professional atmosphere.
American study abroad centers will not only increase the overall quality of the
Moroccan higher education system but will also provide an economic boost in
and around them. Part of the study abroad experience is exploring popular
destinations which will generate a large spike in tourism from foreign students.
Visiting families and friends will also want to adventure out and see what
Morocco has to offer. Local businesses like restaurants and bars will have an
increase in sales from students staying in dormitories or apartments. Every aspect
that makes a “college town” successful in America to sustain their students will
transfer over to Morocco and benefit the local economy.
