Tourism, urbanism and colonialism in Tangier, 1880-1939

Abstract
This article examines leisure, travel, and tourism during the period of rapid urban expansion of Tangier. Several factors favored Tangier’s prospects to develop an urban economy based on travel and leisure, including climate, location, the availability of a labor force from Morocco and southern Andalucía, and the city’s role as the seat of Euro-Moroccan investment, commerce, and diplomacy. It was known to thousands of travelers and residential tourists by the late nineteenth century, fuelling considerable optimism for further growth in this area. By the 1930s, however, a range of municipal and inter-imperial political problems impeded the city’s consolidation as a major resort destination.Downloads
