Last minute holidays specialist Packyourbags.com sees a positive return to Morocco booking levels since the Marrakesh bomb attack in April 2011.

Packyourbags.com is pleased to report holiday bookings to Morocco are returning to a level that is more in keeping with this time of year following the terrible Marrakesh bomb attack, which took place on 28 April 2011 killing 17 people and injuring 25.

With the explosion taking place at Cafe Argana, located in one of Marrakesh’s most popular tourist spots - Jema el-Fna square, it was certainly intended to hit one of Morocco’s most important industries – tourism.

Packyourbags.com’s Managing Director Mark Kempster who was in Marrakesh at the time of the attack commented, “To see our booking levels to Morocco return to what we are used to at this time of year is really encouraging. Not only do we promote travel to this beautiful country but it’s a personal favourite of mine too, and the bomb attack was very sad news for Marrakesh and Morocco. However, recent figures show our bookings are bouncing back which is fantastic news and once again I think this demonstrates just how resilient British holidaymakers are”.
