An international seminar held in Madrid focused on the use of tourism in the occupied city of Dakhla to consolidate Moroccan control over Western Sahara. Experts, lawyers, and Spanish parliamentarians discussed a report highlighting how tourism projects are used to involve foreign partners and provide a facade of legitimacy to the occupation. The report specifically examines the aviation sector, including Ryanair flights between Madrid and Dakhla, warning European consumers about promotional narratives that disguise the region's legal status. The discussions underscored the legal and political implications of these investments, emphasizing the Sahrawi people's right to sovereignty over their natural resources and the need to educate international public opinion on the conflict.
