[00:14:39] The Royal Moroccan Tour, [00:14:42] excitement and passion [00:14:44] renewed. [00:14:47] Please, I want to understand why all this fuss about personal data protection, [00:14:50] and how can I protect it? [00:14:54] Personal data protection is not a game. Our [00:14:57] state takes the matter seriously and has enacted laws [00:15:01] and rules to protect your name, phone number, address, [00:15:05] photos, school information, medical, and banking [00:15:08] information. In short, any information that can identify [00:15:12] you. But I still don't understand why all these precautions. I'll simplify [00:15:16] things for you. Your data is worth gold. Companies [00:15:19] can exploit it to bombard [00:15:23] can steal your money. [00:15:26] And there are bad people who can use it against you or even forge it for criminal [00:15:31] the end, data protection equals protection [00:15:34] of your freedom, your private life, and your family's life. [00:15:37] Oh, to that extent? Like what? [00:15:40] Yes, for example, they can hack your accounts, steal [00:15:43] your identity and buy things with it, expose your photos and personal [00:15:47] messages. Even if it seems simple, the consequences [00:15:50] can be huge. Oh my God, what should I do to [00:15:54] protect myself? It's easy. First, create [00:15:57] long and different passwords for each account. Second, enable [00:16:03] in authentication. Third, don't give too much [00:16:06] personal information to websites. [00:16:09] suspicious links or websites. Ah, now [00:16:13] I understand. And what does the CNDP do? This is the National Commission [00:16:17] for the Control of Personal Data Protection. The CNDP's [00:16:20] role is to raise awareness and explain to citizens and institutions how to apply [00:16:24] the law, protect your rights as a citizen, and monitor so that neither [00:16:27] companies nor administrations violate your privacy. And if you are a victim [00:16:30] of illegal and unauthorized exploitation of your data, you can file [00:16:34] a complaint with the commission, which ensures compliance with the personal data protection law. [00:16:37] To live in the digital world, we must ensure [00:16:41] the protection of our data. [00:17:06] Exceptional dynamism and an unprecedented [00:17:10] qualitative leap are witnessed by the tourism sector in our country. [00:17:13] This has cemented the sector's position as one of the most prominent [00:17:16] pillars of the national economy and a fundamental driver [00:17:20] of comprehensive development. Our country, [00:17:22] thanks to the integrated strategies adopted [00:17:26] in recent years, has managed to transform its civilizational [00:17:29] and natural assets and its distinguished [00:17:33] geographical location into an attractive force [00:17:36] that has made Morocco an undeniable global [00:17:39] destination. The latest figures announced by the Ministry [00:17:43] of Tourism, Handicrafts, and the Social and Solidarity [00:17:47] Economy confirm the sustainable [00:17:50] growth phase witnessed by the sector. Morocco [00:17:54] received 15 million and 700 tourists during [00:17:57] the first nine months of the current year, [00:18:00] an increase of 5 percent [00:18:03] compared to the same period in 2025. [00:18:08] This is a significant achievement that proves the success [00:18:11] of the national vision and transforms tourism into [00:18:13] one of the most important structural drivers of the national [00:18:19] development witnessed by the sector is linked [00:18:22] to the implementation of the tourism roadmap, which worked to [00:18:26] expand the air connectivity network by enhancing [00:18:29] available capacity and attracting new international airlines, [00:18:32] as well as opening direct routes to [00:18:35] traditional markets and other promising ones in North [00:18:41] did not stop at the limits of air transport but extended [00:18:44] to include significant investments in infrastructure [00:18:47] and hospitality through the opening of international [00:18:50] resorts and hotels and the development of accommodation [00:18:53] establishments in old cities and coastal areas, [00:18:56] in parallel with the launch of innovative marketing [00:19:00] campaigns that highlighted the unique cultural [00:19:03] and geographical diversity of our country. This [00:19:06] achievement is a real prelude to a greater [00:19:10] qualitative leap awaiting the Kingdom [00:19:13] in conjunction with its hosting of major sports and international [00:19:17] events, foremost among them the 2030 [00:19:20] World Cup in partnership with Spain [00:19:23] and Portugal. The Kingdom is steadily [00:19:26] moving towards achieving the goal of reaching [00:19:29] 26 million tourists by [00:19:32] 2030 by continuing to accelerate [00:19:35] major airport expansion projects, expanding the high-speed [00:19:39] train network, and deepening digital [00:19:42] transformation, which solidifies Morocco's position [00:19:45] as a wonderful global destination that combines [00:19:49] the authenticity of heritage and the modernity [00:19:51] of services. [00:20:00] The aviation and defense industry [00:20:03] sector is undergoing a rapid strategic [00:20:06] transformation that has made the Kingdom a trusted platform for innovation [00:20:11] In this context, the eighth edition of the Marrakech [00:20:15] Air Show 2026 [00:20:18] is a global event that has been a significant milestone in shaping [00:20:22] the future of aerospace manufacturing and defense [00:20:25] sovereignty in Africa and the Mediterranean [00:20:28] region, in addition to being a strategic [00:20:31] platform aimed at enhancing national industrial [00:20:35] sovereignty and transitioning [00:20:38] from mere assembly of parts to innovation [00:20:41] and manufacturing of advanced solutions. The extensive [00:20:45] international participation, which included hundreds of [00:20:48] exhibitors and high-level officials [00:20:51] from various countries around the world, reflected the growing [00:20:55] international confidence in the investment environment and advanced [00:20:58] infrastructure provided by the Kingdom. [00:21:02] The exhibition's agenda was based on a comprehensive future [00:21:05] vision that simulated the rapid [00:21:08] sector, where advanced technologies took center [00:21:12] stage, foremost among them autonomous systems such as drones [00:21:16] and protection and counter-drone [00:21:18] technologies, in addition to the integration of artificial intelligence [00:21:21] and space technology and communications via [00:21:24] industrial satellites. The exhibition also placed [00:21:28] the issue of sustainability at the heart of its discussions by highlighting [00:21:31] green fuel solutions [00:21:34] emissions, to form a main [00:21:38] theme for the next [00:21:41] aircraft. The exhibition culminated in the signing [00:21:44] of strategic and qualitative partnership agreements between [00:21:47] government sectors, academic institutions, [00:21:50] and leading international companies. These partnerships [00:21:53] aim to establish advanced research and industrial [00:21:57] centers of excellence to support innovation [00:22:00] and technological development, as well as strengthening local [00:22:04] supply chain capabilities and integrating national competencies [00:22:08] label, which directly contributes to localizing knowledge and transferring [00:22:12] defense and engineering technology. Thus, [00:22:15] the Marrakech Air Show in this [00:22:19] edition reinforces the success of the national vision to make [00:22:22] the aviation sector a fundamental driver of economic [00:22:26] development and technological sovereignty for our country.

The Central Bank stated that this step, [00:22:59] which comes after an initial framework for these fees that set [00:23:03] their ceiling at 0.65%, [00:23:07] also stipulates setting a special ceiling of [00:23:11] 0.15% [00:23:13] for e-government services, as well as [00:23:17] transactions made at local merchants.
