Fes: Over 800 “faux guides” arrested in 2006

Wednesday, February 21st, 2007

DestinationsOver 800 unlicensed guides were arrested in Fes during 2006, the local tourism police says.

The tourism brigade in Fes arrested 840 people last year for fraud and impersonating an official guide, Moroccan news agency MAP says.

These so-called “faux guides” do not have the necessary license to act as tourist guides. Most of the unlicensed guides were arrested in or near Fes’ tourist hotspots like hotels, monuments, souks and the train station.

The tourism brigade of the local police was set up specifically to protect foreign visitors from fraud and other harassment.
