Morocco’s inbound tourism revenues reached $3.7 billion during the first five months of this year, representing an 8 pc increase compared to the same period of last year.

According to latest data released by the ministry of tourism, the number of overnight stays during the same period reached 11.8 million (+13%), while the number of tourists who visited the country during the same period reached 7.2 million, a 22 % increase compared to last year.

In the first quarter of 2025, Morocco welcomed a record 4 million tourists, representing a 22% increase compared to the same period of 2024. The impressive growth is attributed to several factors including the opening to new tourism markets, improved air accessibility through increased flight frequencies and low-cost carriers, investments in tourism infrastructure, digital campaigns and cultural events.

In 2024, Morocco received 17.4 million international tourists, a 20% increase compared to 2023, making it the most-visited country in Africa. This allowed the sector to nearly double its contribution to GDP, rising from 3.7% in 2020 to 7.3% in 2023.
