Morocco, a rising star in Africa, is like a European country where all of its trains, trams, buses, flights and ferries run on time. It launched a satellite called the Mohammed-6B designed for earth observation in November 2018, a rare thing for any African country. Morocco has become the first African country to have a high-speed train, “Al Boraq” connecting Tangier to Casablanca. In tourism also, it is outperforming the former number-one tourism destination in Africa, South Africa, with a record 12.3 million international tourists in 2018, up 8 percent from 2017’s figures. Many tour operators in South Africa are scratching their heads as to the reasons as to why Morocco has been able to defeat South Africa two years in a row?
