Conclusion (6th Entry)

To conclude, doing this research paper was such an amazing experience. As it was expected, we encountered some difficulties in our team work such as: 
 
o   The decisions of the meeting times were not as easy as they seem to be;
o   We have been working on a topic then we changed it to a new topic after a week of research;
o   We spent a lot of time reading chapters from books and articles than we did not use at the end in our research paper.  
o   We had to discuss every single think we added in our research paper so that we both agree on the content on our research.

Ø  The conclusion of our research paper was:
            The overall goal of this research paper is to give a sense of what are some mechanisms leading to achieving sustainable tourism in a country. This term means in short a tourism that, given the suitable environment, prospers in terms of number and do not constitute a treat to the cultural and environmental domain of the host country. This study focuses mainly on Morocco as a potential main actor of the worldwide touristic scene for the next ten years. Regarding the ambitious goal of Morocco with a short-term goal becoming the 20th world destination in 2020, traditional mass tourism, based roughly on building more touristic accommodation at the expense of nature and cultural heritage of the country, turns irrelevant before such a huge number of tourists. Sustainable tourism seems to be the alternative for at the same time, achieving a high financial profit and protecting the environmental and cultural legacy of Morocco. This country represents indeed an excellent living example of an inner touristic policy aiming to make the transition from mass tourism to a more sustainable form of tourism. The major line around which the “Vision 2020” rotates is the idea of building a new structure of governance based on regionalization regarding the approach of tourism in Morocco. Multiple regional comities will be appointed to keep track of local initiatives to develop tourism in the region. This new approach is believed to be more effective and to valorize the cultural patrimony of regions across Morocco. Such an effort of making sustainable tourism in Moroccan policy illustrates perfectly the effort of a category of third world countries playing the new card of sustainability in order to develop economy through tourism.
