Morocco Foreign & Commonwealth Overview.

419,000 UK tourists visited Morocco in 2007 (Source: Moroccan Ministry of Tourism). Most visits are trouble-free. 100 British nationals required consular assistance in Morocco in the period 01 April 2008 – 31 March 2009 for the following types of incident; deaths (19 cases); hospitalisations (33 cases); and arrests, for a variety of offences (22 cases). During this period assistance was also requested with regard to lost or stolen passports (61 cases). There are occasional incidents involving theft at knifepoint in the major cities and along beaches, and violent crime, though not a major problem in Morocco, is growing.

Morocco travel insurance.

Holidays to Morocco are likely to continue to rise due to changes to the UK’s Air Passenger Duty which has meant that travelling to Morocco will become cheaper and due to the recent filming of a bit of the new sex in the city film in Marrakech plus of course the popularity of the beach resorts like Agadir and Essaouira. Many travel insurance companies don’t classify Morocco under their European travel insurance but below we have found some that do which might help if you are looking for cheap travel insurance to Morocco.
