Morocco looks to offer individual visas to Chinese tourists

Beyond the 1942 film Casablanca starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, most Chinese know very little about the distant North African country of Morocco. To improve the two countries relations, both the governments are looking at ways to simplify visa procedures.

From March 6 this year, Chinese service passport holders have not needed a visa to enter Morocco, a first step in making entry to the country easier.

The country also looks to attract more tourists from China, and plans granting individual visas to Chinese tourists, said Salaheddine Mezouar, Foreign Affairs Minister of Morocco.

Currently, Chinese tourists must come in groups to apply for Moroccan tourism visa.
