There was an article in the Tico Times this week reporting that Costa Rica continues to be the most popular destination in Central America for tourists from Europe, and European tourism to Costa Rica was up 16 percent last year. Hopefully that will lead to more direct flights from Europe to Costa Rica, which would bring even more tourists by making it more convenient than changing planes in the US or Panama.
This week we have photos of street scenes of Marrakech, Morocco, posted on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.

moss is interesting and so green
Tourism has been good for this beautiful little country.
Don't you think sometimes that an overabundance of tourists can turn into a nightmare Dave?
P.s. you should try and eat your lunch outdoors under the trees at least a couple of times a week Dave :)
Lovely shades of green. I can't help but wonder if increased tourism is what the area can sustain before it changes irrevocably?
This looks very much like what we call "algues vertes" or green seaweed. It has become a bit of a plight on the French Atlantic coast, most notably in Brittany. Some blame intensive agriculture and pesticides for it and there's an ongoing scientifuc battle about whether or not they are dangerous for humans (and fauna). All I know is that when bathing a couple of years ago, I had to walk through them knee deep and ended up with stinging and rashy legs...
