بين 800 و1000 درهم لليلة.. هل أصبحت "تغازوت" حكراً على السياح الأجانب والأغنياء؟

The Taghazout region continues to solidify its position as one of the most prominent tourist destinations in Morocco and the world, attracting thousands of visitors and water sports enthusiasts. Despite its captivating beauty and exceptional atmosphere, visitors often mention a drawback that mars their enjoyment: the high cost of living, transportation challenges, and the disparity in accommodation prices. Taghazout, especially during the summer, experiences an unprecedented influx of foreign tourists and Moroccans from distant cities like Casablanca and Rabat. The skate park and its expansive beaches are the main attractions, transforming the area into a vibrant hub at night thanks to live music and a reassuring security presence that puts families at ease. An added bonus, praised by visitors, is the free parking. The High Prices and the Challenge of Renting But behind this tourist appeal lies a stark reality: the high cost of living burdens local tourists and young people. According to testimonies gathered by the newspaper, furnished apartment rental prices have seen a significant increase, ranging between 800 and 1000 dirhams per night in some areas. Meanwhile, some find it difficult to find accommodation within the average income range (between 250 and 300 dirhams), which is pushing many young people to limit themselves to quick day trips and return to their cities to avoid the exorbitant costs of overnight stays. The high prices are not limited to rentals; they extend to shops within the tourist village. Several respondents indicated that shops are using "tourist-specific prices" (prices reserved for foreigners), making food and vegetables expensive compared to the nearby weekly markets, which remain the only option for those seeking reasonable prices. The Transportation Problem and the "Middlemen" Transportation remains a major concern for visitors to Taghazout. Tourists complain about the scarcity of taxis and the difficulty of getting around, especially during peak hours. According to reports, some taxi drivers refuse to transport visitors except under specific conditions or to designated destinations, leaving tourists confused and forcing many to endure additional hardship to reach their destinations. Regarding the phenomenon of "middlemen" (intermediaries), opinions vary. While some believe they contribute to price hikes and inflated rental fees, others argue that their absence at certain times facilitates direct dealings with shop owners. These middlemen call for the regulation of this sector to ensure everyone benefits from tourism without exploitation. Security and Aesthetics: A Safeguard Despite these challenges, Taghazout remains a premier beach tourism destination. Visitors praised the warm hospitality of the locals and the robust security efforts that ensure their safety and the security of their belongings. The focus now remains on improving basic services and rigorously monitoring prices to guarantee the continued appeal of this world-class destination and protect it from any shortcomings that could damage its reputation.
