There are approximately two hundred hotels catering to the summer influx of European tourists. One distinction that Chefchaouen is famous for is its blue houses and buildings.

Chefchaouen is a popular shopping destination as well, as it offers many native handicrafts that are not available elsewhere in Morocco, such as wool garments and woven blankets. The goat cheese native to the area is also popular with tourists.
