Welcome
on the site Tanger
Tangier
or Tangiers [pronounce[1]] (Tanja ???? in Berber and
Arabic, Tánger in Spanish, Tânger in Portuguese,
and Tanger in French) is a city of northern Morocco
with a population of 2,377,109(2008 census). It lies
on the North African coast at the western entrance to
the Strait of Gibraltar where the Mediterranean meets
the Atlantic Ocean off Cape Spartel. It is the capital
of the Tangier-Tétouan Region.
The
history of Tangier is very rich due to the historical
presence of many civilizations and cultures starting
from the 5th century BCE. Between the period being a
Phoenician town to the independence era around 1950's,
Tangier was a place --and, sometimes a refuge-- for
many cultural diversities. However, it was until early
20th century when Tangier was attributed an international
status by foreign colonial powers in 1923 and thus becoming
a destination for many Europeans and non-Europeans alike
such as Americans and Indians.
Nowadays,
the city is undergoing rapid development and modernization.
Projects include new 5 star hotels along the bay, a
modern business district called Tangier City Center,
a new airport terminal, and a new soccer stadium. Tangier's
economy will also benefit greatly from the new Tanger-med
port.

Increasing
Interest in Morocco
According to Times online (a UK based online newspaper),
Morocco is the fastest growing destination for holidaymakers
who buy flights through lastminute.com. Airlines have
been engaged in an aggressive fares war because of
the record number of flights, with London-Marrakesh
fares dropping as little as £27 (€38 or
$48) return including taxes and charges.
Magreb
Arabe Presse has reported that during summer 2006
flight bookings to Marrakesh leapt 295% year-on-year,
maintained by the increased number of flights operating
between UK and Morocco.
The other popular Moroccan destination is Tangier,
which is the fifth fastest growing destination with
bookings of up to 132% year-on-year.
