Brits flock to ‘low-cost’ morocco

Emerging holiday destinations outside Europe are becoming more and more popular, according to experts...

Ash Makkar, spokesperson for Teletext Holidays commented: "Consumers in the UK are increasingly opting to visit more exotic locations such as Africa.  Morocco is a particularly popular destination.

He added: “Interest in the country has grown significantly in recent years. People are becoming more adventurous when it comes to booking a trip abroad. Morocco is also proving to be an attractive destination because it offers a relatively low cost of living.

Figures from the group showed that food and drink, including three-course meals and alcoholic beverages, are far less expensive than in Spain. This could help account for the country's current popularity among overseas property buyers from the UK, including rental investors.
