Morocco featured among top destinations to visit in 2024 – CNN Travel

Morocco is featured among the best world destinations to visit in 2024, according to the “Travel” segment of the renowned media outlet CNN.

CNN has highlighted in a recent feature on its “Travel” segment, Morocco as one of the top 24 must-visit destinations for the year 2024.

Morocco is one of the few African countries, alongside Angola, to secure a spot on this prestigious list, joining the ranks of destinations such as Indonesia, South Korea, Singapore, Chile, Canada and others.

“A longtime travel favorite thanks to its diverse landscape and spectacular architecture, Morocco has bounced back determinedly after a devastating earthquake this past September,” CNN points out.

The media recommends that tourists explore other lesser-known places in Morocco, such as Tetuan and Meknes, less crowded but undoubtedly as enchanting as the popular cities of Marrakech, Rabat, and Fez.

The media states that while visitors tend to congregate in popular cities such as Marrakech, Rabat, and Fez, the country certainly is not short of less crowded spots that are just as fascinating like Tetuan and the historic Meknes, which is among the country’s nine UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Also, “Morocco is proving to be a world leader when it comes to sustainable tourism, with the launch of various initiatives to boost its renewable energy generation,” the media states.

The media outlet highlights that “the country is home to a number of important eco-friendly hotels, including the Berber-run Kasbah du Toubkal, located at the foot of the spectacular High Atlas Mountains.”

Morocco’s ability to seamlessly blend tradition with modernity, coupled with its commitment to sustainable tourism, positions it as a compelling destination for global travelers in 2024.

The growing popularity of Morocco as a tourist destination is reflected in the statistics, with the country attracting 13.2 million tourists as of November 2023.

Furthermore, revenues from the tourism sector experienced a significant boost, jumping from MAD 84.12 billion in November 2022 ($8.5 billion) to MAD 97.4 billion in November 2023.
