1. Iceland
Iceland is the most receptive country on the planet.

Morocco is one of the main entrances to the Sahara desert, but the African country is an excellent tourist option because of the friendliness and warmth of its people and also for the excellent cuisine, preserved historic buildings and the cultural mix of a region, whose distinct cultures communicate frequently.
