Active Participation of the College of Health Tourism in Morocco’s International Conference on Languages, Tourism, and Heritage

The city of Errachidia in the Kingdom of Morocco is hosting the “Languages, Tourism, and Heritage” Conference, organized by the Multidisciplinary Faculty of Errachidia at Moulay Ismail University, from May 14 to 16, with broad international participation from academics, experts, researchers, and specialists in the fields of tourism, culture, heritage, and languages from various Arab and foreign countries.
The College of Health Tourism is marking a distinguished scientific presence at the conference through the participation of its founder, Dr. Abdelaty Elmannaee, a global health tourism expert, the originator of modern concepts in health tourism and accessible health tourism, and one of the leading pioneers of environmental healing in the Arab and African regions.
Dr. Elmannaee is participating with a specialized scientific paper entitled: “Investment Opportunities in Health Tourism in the Kingdom of Morocco,” in which he presents a comprehensive strategic vision for the future of Morocco as one of the leading emerging destinations in medical tourism, environmental healing, and accessible health tourism. His vision is based on Morocco’s rich environmental, cultural, heritage, and medical diversity, which qualifies the Kingdom to build an advanced and sustainable health tourism model with broad economic and developmental dimensions.
The scientific paper highlights the importance of integrating the healthcare and tourism sectors as a key driver for creating new investment opportunities and enhancing Morocco’s competitiveness in international markets, especially amid the rapid global growth of the wellness economy and medical tourism industry, which has become one of the fastest-growing and most influential economic sectors worldwide.
During the conference, Dr. Abdelaty Elmannaee is also presenting the “Moroccan Environmental Healing Map” project, alongside the “Afro-Asian Atlas of Environmental Healing,” as pioneering scientific initiatives aimed at documenting and classifying natural therapeutic resources across the Arab and African regions and transforming them into sustainable tourism and development projects.
Accessible health tourism also holds a prominent place within the scientific participation, as Dr. Elmannaee emphasizes the importance of developing health and tourism services that accommodate the needs of elderly individuals and persons with disabilities, considering this sector one of the fastest-growing areas in global tourism and among the most impactful economically and socially.
This participation reflects the growing academic and professional presence of the College of Health Tourism in specialized international forums and conferences, while reaffirming its role in promoting scientific awareness of modern health tourism concepts and strengthening Arab and African cooperation in the fields of health investment and sustainable development.
