Travel with purpose is becoming increasingly important for several reasons. One reason is that people are becoming more conscious of the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint. Additionally, people are also looking for ways to make a positive impact on the communities they visit, whether that be through volunteering (VOLUNTARYWORK) or supporting local businesses. Finally, there is a growing desire among travelers to have a more meaningful and authentic travel experience, rather than just visiting tourist sites. As a result, many are choosing to travel with a purpose, such as volunteering, learning a new skill, or immersing themselves in a new culture.

In the region of Errachidia tourism, linked with the spectacular development of transportation, is emerging as an economic alternative able to employ the young people who abandon the agricultural world, even though its impact is still currently limited to a few Moroccan oases. It is mainly an itinerant kind of tourism, based on large hotels managed by external entrepreneurs, with relatively little benefits for the local economic fabric. It is also interesting to notice, however, that “alternative” tourism, with all of its different faces (sport, ecology, architecture, folklore, gastronomy, spas, etc), is clearly spreading, even with very little support from the Governments, and is already playing a significant role in several communities. Alternative tourism, thanks to a more direct relationship with local population, is able to start virtuous circles that can lead to interesting examples of auto-centred development, especially through the contribution of migrants’ remittances. While mass tourism tends to overuse the natural resources of a territory that it does not truly know, alternative tourism generally gets to know the territory and its problems much better and is able to promote more environmentally friendly behaviours and investments
