Being aware of the importance of reconsidering the touristic activity and according to the definition of the notion of sustainable development, Moroccan public authorities have set up since the year 2000 some sectoral strategies to adapt the tourist supply in accordance with the new requirements of the tourists. The emergence of this variety of tourism offers (rural, solidary, ethical, Community…) certifies the vivacity of a phenomenon in full development. These new offers have a common denominator: it is to combine the environmental protection and the economic profitability in a long run. What is the context in which this responsible, solidary touristic activity has emerged? What is, then, the commitment of morocco in this new touristic offer? What are the efforts of certain associations for contributing to the territorial development? To answer these questions of research, we will, first, present a review of the literature about the evolution of mass tourism to durable tourism. Secondly, we will treat the importance of solidary tourism to valorize the specific resources of the territory in order to sit a territorial development.

Abstract
Being aware of the importance of reconsidering the touristic activity and according to the definition of the notion of sustainable development, Moroccan public authorities have set up since the year 2000 some sectoral strategies to adapt the tourist supply in accordance with the new requirements of the tourists. The emergence of this variety of tourism offers (rural, solidary, ethical, Community…) certifies the vivacity of a phenomenon in full development. These new offers have a common denominator: it is to combine the environmental protection and the economic profitability in a long run. What is the context in which this responsible, solidary touristic activity has emerged? What is, then, the commitment of morocco in this new touristic offer? What are the efforts of certain associations for contributing to the territorial development? To answer these questions of research, we will, first, present a review of the literature about the evolution of mass tourism to durable tourism. Secondly, we will treat the importance of solidary tourism to valorize the specific resources of the territory in order to sit a territorial development.

Abstract: (french)
Avec la prise de conscience de l’importance de repenser l’activité touristique, au lendemain de la définition de la notion du développement durable, les pouvoirs publics au Maroc ont mis en place depuis l’an 2000, des stratégies sectorielles pour adapter l’offre touristique conformément aux nouvelles exigences des touristes. L’émergence de ces offres touristiques variées (rural, solidaire, éthique, communautaire…) atteste de la vivacité d’un phénomène en constant bouillonnement, le dénominateur commun : c’est de conjuguer la protection de l’environnement et la rentabilité économique de long terme. Quel est donc le contexte d’émergence du tourisme solidaire et responsable ? Quel engagement du Maroc dans cette nouvelle offre touristique ? Et dans quelle mesure les actions solidaires de certaines associations ont contribué au développement territorial ? Pour répondre à ces questions de recherche, nous allons présenter une revue de la littérature sur l’évolution du tourisme de masse au tourisme durable, nous montrerons à l’aide d’une étude de cas, l’importance du tourisme solidaire en tant qu’offre touristique durable dans la valorisation des ressources spécifiques du territoire en vue d’asseoir un développement territorial.
Author Keywords: tourisme solidaire, développement territorial, ressources spécifiques, valorisation.
