Essaouira unveils its proposals for creative experiences on the occasion of ITB Berlin 2023

Plastic arts, music, ancestral crafts… Essaouira’s many assets provide a framework for local actors to collaborate in the creation of creative tourism experiences that meet the demand of new generations of travelers looking for authenticity and human values. They also participate in the creation of an ecosystem between artists, artisans, creative industries, the tourism and hospitality sector, and of course, the local population.

Essaouira’s membership in the Creative Tourism Network® in 2022 will allow it to capitalize on the city’s various achievements, notably its designation by UNESCO as a Creative City of Music. It is also a new opportunity to convert Essaouira’s cultural potential into a pioneering tourism model, synonymous with economic development, but also with respect for the culture and the inhabitants.
