Prague has been a political, cultural and economic center of Central Europe with a rich history. The Prague, rich in the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque era founded during the Roman times, was the capital of the Empire of Bohemia, and was the main residence of many Holy Roman emperors, mainly Charles IV (Shaw.1346-1378).

Tourism in Morocco

Tourism in Morocco

Tourism in Morocco is well developed, with a strong tourism industry focused on the coast, culture and history of the country. Morocco has been one of the most politically stable countries in North Africa, which has allowed the development of tourism. The Moroccan government created a Ministry of Tourism in 1985. [1] Tourism is considered one of the main sources of foreign currency in Morocco and in 2013 it had the highest number of arrivals outside the African countries.

History of tourism

In the second half of the 80s and early 90s, between 1 and 1.5 million Europeans visited Morocco. Most of these visitors were French or Spanish, with about 100,000 from Great Britain, Germany and the Netherlands. Tourists mostly visited large spas along the Atlantic coast, particularly Agadir. Around 20,000 people from Saudi Arabia visited, some of whom bought holiday homes. Tourism receipts fell by 16.5% in 1990, the year the Gulf War began. In 1994, Algeria closed its border with Morocco after the attack of Marrakech, which caused the number of Algerian visitors to decrease considerably; there were 70,000 visitors in 1994 and 13,000 in 1995, compared to 1.66 million in 1992 and 1.28 million in 1993. In 2017, there were 10.3 million tourist arrivals, compared with about 10.1 million in 2016, an annual increase of 1.5% . 30% of tourists were one of the 3.8 million Moroccans living abroad. Marrakech itself had more than 2 million visitors in 2017. [3] The majority of visitors to Morocco are still Europeans, with French and Spanish citizens representing almost 40% of all visitors. Most Europeans visit in April and fall, apart from the Spaniards, who mostly visit in June and August.

Tourism industry

Revenues from tourism in 2007 totaled US $ 7.55 billion. Tourism is the second largest source of foreign currency in Morocco, after the phosphate industry. The Moroccan government is investing heavily in the development of tourism. A new tourism strategy called Vision 2010 was developed after the accession of King Mohammed VI in 1999. The government has pointed out that Morocco will have 10 million visitors by 2010, with the hope that tourism has risen to 20% of GDP. The large marketing campaigns sponsored by the government to attract tourists announced Morocco as a cheap and exotic place, albeit safe, for European tourists.

The relatively high number of tourists from Morocco has been favored by its location, tourist attractions and the relatively low price. Cruises visit the ports of Casablanca and Tangier. Morocco is close to Europe and attracts visitors to its beaches. Due to its proximity to Spain, tourists in the coastal areas of southern Spain make trips of one to three days to Morocco. Air services have been established between Morocco and Algeria, many Algerians have traveled to Morocco to buy and visit family and friends. Morocco is relatively cheap due to the devaluation of the dirham and the increase in the prices of hotels in Spain. Morocco has an excellent road and rail infrastructure that connects the main cities and tourist destinations with ports and cities with international airports. Low cost airlines offer cheap flights to the country.

Azur Plan

The "Azur Plan", is a large-scale project initiated by King Mohammed VI, is destined to internationalize Morocco. The plan calls for the creation of six coastal resorts for owners of holiday homes and tourists (five on the Atlantic coast and one in the Mediterranean), the newspaper noted. The plan also includes other large-scale development projects, such as upgrading regional airports to attract low-cost airlines and building new rail and highway links. Thus, the country achieved an 11% increase in tourism in the first five months of 2008 compared to the same period last year, he said, adding that French visitors topped the list with 927,000 followed by Spaniards (587,000) and British (141,000). . Morocco, which is close to Europe, has a mix of culture and the exotic that makes it popular among Europeans who buy holiday homes.

Sights

The attractions of the country can be divided into seven regions:

The four imperial cities: the four historical capitals of Morocco: Fez, Marrakech, Meknes and Rabat.
Marrakech
Casablanca - the largest city in Morocco; home of the Hassan II mosque, which has the tallest minaret in the world at 656 feet
Tangier and its surroundings

They formally surrendered on 3 December 1810 with certain conditions, these conditions were that the use of French language on the island would continue and France's laws would apply to civilians in criminal cases. Under British rule, the name of this island was changed back to Mauritius.

Anchorage, Alaska


Alaska is a romantic and isolated destination, along with the beauty of nature in abundance. Anchorage offers many places to enjoy, such as the Glacier Bay National Park and Reserve, winter activities such as dog sledding, or taking a look at the spectacular northern lights or experiencing nature by choosing trails.

Anchorage (officially called the Municipality of Anchorage; Dena'ina: Dgheyaytnu) is a unified government municipality in the US state of Alaska. With an estimated 298,192 residents in 2016,  it is the most populous city in Alaska and contains more than 40 percent of the state's total population; Among the 50 states, only New York has a higher percentage of residents living in its most populated city. In total, the Anchorage metropolitan area, which combines Anchorage with the neighboring municipality of Matanuska-Susitna, had a population of 401,635 in 2016, representing more than half of the state's population. With 1,706 square miles of land area, the city is the fourth largest city by land in the United States and larger than the smallest state, Rhode Island, with 1,212 square miles.

The anchorage is located in the south-central part of Alaska, at the end of Cook Inlet, on a peninsula formed by Knik Arm to the north and Turnagain Arm to the south. [10] The city limits encompass 1,961.1 square miles (5,079.2 km2) encompassing the urban core, a joint military base, several peripheral communities and almost the entire Chugach State Park.

Due to its location, almost equidistant from New York City, Frankfurt and Tokyo, Anchorage is within 9 1/2 hours by air of almost 90% of the industrialized world. [13] For this reason, the Anchorage International Airport is a common refueling stop for many international cargo flights and houses a major FedEx hub, which the company considers a "critical part" of its global service network.

Anchorage has won the All-America City Award four times: in 1956, 1965, 1984-85 and 2002, by the National Civic League.  It has also been named by Kiplinger as the most tax-favored city in the United States.


History
Main articles: History of Anchorage, Alaska and Timeline of Anchorage, Alaska
The Russian presence in south-central Alaska was well established in the 19th century. In 1867, the Secretary of State of the United States, William H. Seward, negotiated an agreement to buy Alaska from Imperial Russia for $ 7.2 million, or approximately two cents per acre ($ 0.1 billion in 2016 dollars).  His political rivals mocked the agreement as "Seward's madness", "Seward's fridge" and "Walrussia". In 1888, gold was discovered along Turnagain's arm.


The town of the store (called "The White City" in the handwritten title) at Ship Creek, photographed by Alberta Pyatt on July 1, 1915.
Alaska became a territory of the United States in 1912. Anchorage, unlike any other large city in Alaska south of the Brooks Range, was not a fishing or mining camp. The area surrounding Anchorage lacks significant economic metallic minerals. A number of Dena'ina settlements existed throughout the Knik Arm for years. By 1911, the families of J. D. "Bud" Whitney and Jim St. Clair lived at the mouth of Ship Creek and were joined there by a young gamekeeper, Jack Brown, and his girlfriend, Nellie, in 1912.

The city grew from its chance choice as site, in 1914, under the direction of Frederick Mears, of a railroad construction port for the Alaska Engineering Commission. The area near the mouth of Ship Creek, where the railway headquarters was located, quickly became a tent city. A city site was plotted on higher ground south of the town than the tent, which is noticeable in the years after its order and rigidity compared to other sites in the city of Alaska. In 1915, territorial governor John Franklin Alexander Strong encouraged residents to change the name of the city to one that had "more importance and local associations."  In the summer of that year, residents voted to change the name of the city; A plurality of residents favored changing the name of the city to "City of Alaska". However, the territorial government finally refused to change the name of the city. Anchorage was incorporated on November 23, 1920.

The construction of the Alaska Railroad continued until its completion in 1923. The city's economy in the 1920s and 1930s focused on the railroad. Colonel Otto F. Ohlson, general manager of the railroad born in Sweden for almost two decades, became a symbol of the contempt of the residents due to the firm control he had over railway affairs, which by extension became control over aspects economic and others of life in Alaska.
