Listed as a world heritage site, the Medina of Fez boasts of a unique architectural heritage, combined with an ancient social etiquette. Therefore, as part of the tourism, handicrafts, housing, and culture sectoral strategies, several measures have been taken with a view to developing Fez’s tourism and cultural assets, particularly by establishing thematic tours, restoring monuments, and improving the urban environment.
The cultural tourism development programme follows the lines established by the Government as regards regionalisation, decentralisation, and developing local expertise. It aims mainly at strengthening the attractiveness of Medina’s tourism potential with regard to Improving tourist facilities (tourist information kiosks, etc); Heritage interpretation (markers, ICT, scenography); Developing architectural heritage (night lighting, models, etc); and Cultural events equipment (exhibitions, etc).
The Agency will also provide technical assistance to better implement projects and will oversee the programme’s various design and implementation stages.
The programme aims at developing 31 Medinas between 2016 and 2025, and that the commitments of the different stakeholders were materialised by the signature of the framework partnership agreement between the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Policy, the Ministry of Handicrafts and Social and Solidarity Economy, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Tourism, and the Moroccan Agency for Tourism Development in December 2015.
