Morocco and Tunisia: big plans afoot | By Philippe Doizelet
 Philippe Doizelet, Head of Horwath HTL’s Paris practice, makes a solid case for considering these two North African countries the next hot Mediterranean markets, especially for developments mixing hotels and privately owned residences. In Arabic, the word “Maghreb” – now connoting the countries Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco and Mauritania – means “the land where the sun sets.” Very different from each other, these four countries mark the western boundary of Islamic religion and culture. The economic importance of the Maghreb countries within Africa remains unquestioned: they account for nearly one third of the continent’s output, and their share increases yearly.
