TOURISM
In addition to its capital being a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the region has a number of tourist, archaeological, and biological sites, as well as numerous assets (climate, natural resources, geography, over 170 km of coastline, etc).
Moreover, aside from its intrinsic assets, tourism development in the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra region is thriving thanks to the arrival of major hotel chains and the expansion of the Rabat-Salé airport.
