Cala Iris ... the full story

Cala iris beach in the north of Morocco, 60km far from Al-Hoceima city.
It our little paradise in Rif, especialy at summer ... our souls are connected to it.
But for others, it is just like any other beach & an economic opportunity to make money by destroying nature & buildings hotels.... with what they call "developing tourism"
... really what a loss, shame on them

So all that is gonna be an absolute detriment on the fragile rural environment. and people living there whom suffer from poverty & hard conditions of life there and by the way they will not take benefit from the project by anyway...

[bobobrd007]

The nature of the project: a major resort (like a new city) that gonna turn upside down the whole situation of the area, from a quite clean public place to a private 100% commercial property, which is targeting in the first place foreigners & the high social class.

There could be a resort w/out ruining the Eco balance...why does it have to be one way or the other?! Responsible businesses better places not ruin them, we just have to give the place to a decent business team.

i understand ur point of view & i totally agree, i'm with the decent responsable& rational development... but the reality is much different : in business, profit always comes first there's no doubt about that... with whatever it takes (& that the case here).

¿Por qué todo está escrito en inglés? En Marruecos no se habla inglés; se habla árabe, beréber, español o francés, pero no inglés.

I live in Morocco now. I love the nature and beauty it offers. I am very sad to see it changng like this. Raped by builders and bull dozers, developments built for people that don't live there, and taking away the places that the people who grew up around used to enjoy. It needs to slow down. If it gives the people jobs, opportunity for education and growth and pride in their country it is good. If it just pushes them out it is bad.

Wat jammer dat dit gaat gebeuren eerst en voor al voor alle mensen die daar wonen. Zelf heb ik aan deze plaats mooie jeugd herinneringen.

Deze plaats word zo maar in gepikt,wat heeft de bevolking eraan, niks. Westerse invloeden waar ze niet op zitten te

wachten. En als ze daar zullen gaan werken dan zullen deze mensen uitgebuit worden.

Een van de mooiste plaatsen van de rif,waar we niet zo maar meer kunnen komen zonder een zak geld.

Dit doet me echt hart zeer. Wat kunnen we eraan doen???
