March is distinguished as Women’s History Month in the U.S., and March 8 marks the global celebration of International Women’s Day. In celebration and support of the many great achievements of women around the world, we’d like to highlight the entrepreneurship, leadership, and talents of five international tourist operations run by women. Each unique experience provides cultural understanding and local knowledge while supporting women and their families. Covering four continents and a range of activities, these immersive experiences also cater to all types of travelers. Though all five operations are run by women, men are encouraged to participate and support these causes when it’s in a culturally appropriate setting.

Each morning at Essaouira’s Le Jardin des Douars, a hotel set in 7.5 acres of tropical planting, we awoke to the heady scent of thyme, Moroccan rose and lantana, then snuck out of our villa to swim in the heated jade pool, as frogs scuttled past giant cacti and succulents, and red dragonflies turned arabesques in the breeze. The hotel has three resident peacocks, and our gardener confided that he’d nicknamed the female tortoise Marine Le Pen “because she can be a bit mean.” Paradise with a sense of humour — what more could you want?
As Morocco is set to join ECOWAS, it has brought much excitement to travel junkies in the sub-region as it represents a potential loss of strict national borders because of the free movement of people enjoyed by ECOWAS citizens.
The agreement was made at a meeting of regional leaders in the Liberian capital, Monrovia.
This has brought much excitement to many travel junkies in the sub-region as it represents a potential loss of strict national borders. That is because ECOWAS citizens enjoy free movement of people using the joint passports.
So, now that Morocco is joining the community, here is why you need to grab your passport as quickly as possible.
