"During
my recent visit to Tan-Tan," said James Williams from Morocco
Today,
"I discovered a really promising region, totally different
from the one I visited four years ago. The most
attracting improvement I discovered is the harmony that exists
between the public sector and the private sector to boost
all sectors of the economy in Tan-Tan province."
While the public sector
in Tan-Tan province is providing
infrastructure and play the facilitating role, the private
sector is spearheading the development activities envisaged
under various economic programs which provides a major role
for the private sector in almost all the sectors of the
economy, particularly fishing, tourism, trade, transport,
real estate, services industries, finance and banking,
business- support. private services and manufacturing.
Tan-Tan Province fronts the Atlantic Ocean (northwest), and is bounded
by the province of Guelmim (east) and the Moroccan province of es-Semara (south) and Laâyoune
province (southwest).

Tan-Tan is located
in southwestern Morocco. The town, about 16 mi (25 km) by road east
of the Atlantic Ocean in the extreme northwestern reaches of the
Moroccan Sahara.
Tan-Tan embraces an
area of 6,678 sq mi (17,295 sq km). The territory that now comprises
Tan-Tan province became a part of the
Spanish Protectorate of Morocco (the area defined as an integral
part of Morocco by a Franco- Spanish convention in 1912) known
variously as the Tekla zone, Tarfaya zone, or Spanish Southern
Morocco. This region was returned to Morocco in 1958 and in 1976 Tan-Tan
province was established in its northwest corner.
Tan-Tan
province is a relatively flat, stony plain
with occasional intermittent stream beds, low-lying mountains,
ridges, and saline depressions; sand dune beaches and high cliffs
are found on the Atlantic coast. Ocean fog preserves limited scrub
growth near the coast.
Nomads are increasingly raising sheep rather
than camels, and practicing transhumance. The population of Tan-Tan
province is estimated at 58.079.
Tan-Tan
the town becomes Tan-Tan the city. Tan-Tan
province is now becoming Tan-Tan the
provincial, regional capital of the future, The annual Mussem, a
commercial and religious fair, attracts traders and nomads from as
far away as Senegal and Marrakech; camels and sheep are exchanged
for grains, tea, sugar, and other necessities.
Today,
Tan-Tan is changing to a promising business center rising from a
glorious past and attractive potentials for investors and
businessmen.

Picture:
TE GUEDRA DANCE- The women dancers kneel and are completely covered with a black veil. The steady rhythm like a beating heart brings out the hands that describe vivid and expressive motions. The head is revealed, with eyes closed, swaying like a pendulum. The rhythm is supplied by a "Guedra" or cooking pot (an earth ware drum covered with skin).

In
the past few years, Tan-Tan has made enormous strides in its
progress and development. The Province has become a thriving
center of commerce, trade, fishing and tourism in Southern
Morocco.
As privatization resources in Morocco are used in rigorously chosen projects to create additional wealth, the investment stimulation can now depend on the existence of a sound social climate and a constant improvement of the infrastructure of the region where fishing is one of two activities that give life to Tan Tan. Tourism is the other. We encourage you to join us.
His Excellency Mohamed Jelmous, Governor of the Province of Tan-Tan

We
are determined to enforce concrete and investment-inducing
measures and programs to stimulate productive investments in
Tan-Tan. The series of measures adopted in Morocco to
support the market economy, make the general atmosphere here
more conducive to investments.
The speed of progress in the province of Tan Tan and
its region has been exceptionally rapid recently and the
foundations of the region infrastructure were developed.
Most of the roads, Tan-Tan port and airport, additional
hotels, restaurants sports and recreational facilities were
promptly erected to cater the progressive development of all
sectors of the economy in the region.
Therefore,
we found it necessary, in this age of Information Technology
and Electronic Media to make Tan Tan Province known to the
world, not only because of the rich history and important
geographic location of the Province, a fact that has its
important significance and we have to make it known to the
world, but also because of the huge potentialities of the
region unknown so far to investors and to the international
business community, and finally because of all the
incentives the investment system provides for those who
would like to participate in the construction of this Grande
future regional capital of the South.
All
indicators show that the next phase of the Province
development program provides a good business environment for
the private sector, with a significant role for the private
business and industry to contribute effectively to the
development of Tan-Tan. With the support and participation
local and regional authorities and the private sector, we
can compete with the rest of the tourism and business
capitals and enter a new era secure in the knowledge that
Tan-Tan will be a truly global and dynamic business and
investment center and the future Grande regional capital of
the South.
Tan-Tan
is adopting a vigorous investment promotion policy to pursue
its goals of accelerated economic growth in additional to
the traditional activities related to trade, transport,
tourism and fishing. Efforts will continue to further expand
and upgrade the Province's infrastructure in keeping with
the growing needs of the economy. Areas that would receive
special attention are the airport, the port, roads,
electricity and water, transportation, housing and urban
services. Programs and policies would be adopted to maintain
good environment conditions in the Province. A better public
awareness about the environment will be created through
special campaigns and education.

Information
technology is fast developing into he world and its use in
trade and industry, economic and financial analysis,
administration and management is extremely beneficial.
We give a very high priority on its development in the
region as well as its applications in order too improve the
quality of products and services as well as the efficiency
of trade and industry. and efforts are made to put this
information technology industry on a sound footing in the
Province. |
