KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia and Morocco plan to have more mutual investments and tourist arrivals. Speaking at a joint press conference with her Moroccan counterpart Yassir Zenagui at the Parliament lobby yesterday, Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen said Malaysia was attracting many tourists from China, India and South-East Asian countries. Morocco, on the other hand, received many Europeans, Americans and South Americans, she said.
Dr Ng said there were currently 17 weekly flights from Malaysia to Morocco, via Dubai. “We received 5,000 Moroccan tourists in 2006, but unfortunately the figure has since been declining,” she said. Zenagui, who invited Dr Ng to visit his country, said bilateral cooperation would enable Malaysia and Morocco to strengthen their tourism markets. “We have more Moroccans coming here than Malaysians going (to Morocco),” he said.
