Hi

I want to building a niche site for Hotels in Morocco so I decide to drill down further and narrow down to a area of Morocco: Marrakech.

I then look at some stats in google keywords and can see a keyword called "hotels in marrakesh" which gets a Monthly stats 18,100, so I buy the domain hotelsinmarrakesh.co.uk just the .co.uk to capture UK market for people going to Marrakech.

Q1. What more market research & analysis should I do to find out which is the best domain and keywords to choose for my new travel site to make it niche?

Q2. What other factors do I need to consider to reach a high rank in Google? when building a niche travel site?

Q3. Is it better to have the keyword in the domain like hotelsinmarrakesh.co.uk or choose one which is branded like goingmarrakesh.co.uk?

Q4. if I get a a domain co.uk will only visters in UK see this site? what if i need the world to see it will I need to get .com?

Many thanks for your thoughts.

R.

Always buy the .com - can't stress this enough!

Keywords vs brand depends on whether you already have a brand or have the money to create one. If neither, go for keywords.
