E8 Of Speedtalking: Travel after Natural Disasters
In the aftermath of a natural disaster, deciding what's best to do with your travel plans to the affected destination can be challenging. In the case of Morocco — where tourism contributes to 12% of the country's GDP — canceling travel plans might actually do more harm than good, exacerbating economic turmoil in addition to the physical damage Moroccans are grappling with.
This week on Speedtalking with Fora, join your host Henley Vazquez as she sits down with special guest Hicham Alaoui, co-founder of Experience Morocco, to explore common misconceptions about traveling to Morocco after the recent earthquake, and to discover why the best way to support the country right now is by visiting!
