Tourism brings in the bank

Tourists make up a large part of Morocco's economy, and this profitable sector was put in danger after an event last month. In an internet cafe in Marrakech, 16 people died and and even more were wounded. After this, 23,000 people canceled their trips to the country. Before this, Morocco was fairly tourist-friendly: "4 million in 2001 to 10 million tourists last year with revenue tripled in the last 10 years, reaching more than $6 billion." Check out this article to read more about how this could potentially affect Morocco's economy and stagnate the influx of tourists.
