Morocco sees rise in 'no men allowed' tours

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Morocco is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Africa but is one of the worst when it comes to gender equality. The North African country has 3,888 qualified tour guides, of which only 163 are women. However a resurgence in female-only tours is allowing nomadic tribes and widows to break through gender barriers and increase their financial independence. The 91福利社鈥檚 Catharina Moh took one of these tours to Morocco's famous Atlas Mountains and met some of the women benefiting from this new travel trend.
