Abstract:

Khenifra is no longer a modest city by its history and nature. The natural and historic heritage constitute a special base of growth and prosperity on which territorial development must be founded. However, the abundance and diversity of these existing touristic sites in the province of Khenifra is in need for concrete initiatives of evaluation, empowerment and exploitation, especially those of historic and natural values. The exploitation of this patrimonial wealth is contingent on touristic animation though. However, the sector of tourism is still marginal and has no connection with the economic activities in Khenifra. In this way, the material and immaterial heritage is still marginalized in the province of Khenifra, and has no contribution in the local socioeconomic development of the province.
