AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Tourism Boom in Morocco-Controlled Western Sahara: Morocco says arrivals to its administered Western Sahara have jumped more than 50% since 2019, rising from about 490,297 visitors to 743,133 in 2025, with new direct routes (including Ryanair, Transavia France, and Royal Air Maroc) and fresh hotel investment helping push Dakhla and Laayoune further onto European travel maps. Legal & Branding Backlash: Critics and rights groups warn that marketing Western Sahara as part of Morocco can raise international-law concerns and effectively normalise the occupation, even as airlines and resorts sell the desert as an “adventure” destination. On-the-Ground Travel Pitch: A travel-focused report describes luxury kite camps, checkpoints, and geopolitical tensions coexisting in Dakhla—where tourism infrastructure is becoming the new battleground. Eid al-Adha Livestock Tensions: Separately, Morocco’s Eid al-Adha sheep-price crisis has reignited political fights over livestock import subsidies and market oversight, adding to broader public frustration over rising costs. Franco-Algerian Human Rights Case: A French football journalist, Christophe Gleizes, remains jailed in Algeria after a terrorism-related conviction, with supporters now hoping for a presidential pardon as diplomatic thaw hopes grow.
