German daily Münchner Merkur has highlighted Morocco’s rise as a top tourist destination in Africa. With 17.4 million international visitors in 2024, the Kingdom recorded a 20% increase in tourist arrivals, making it a historic year for the sector.
Morocco has positioned itself ahead of Africa’s flagship destinations, Egypt and South Africa, the daily noted on its digital platform Merkur.de. This growth has been driven by massive investments in tourism infrastructure, transportation networks, the expansion of air links, and ambitious projects such as co-hosting the 2030 FIFA World Cup with Spain and Portugal, according to the same source.
Citing the launch of five new direct flights from Germany to Agadir, the newspaper highlighted that the number of German tourists visiting Agadir has surged by over 200%.
As a result, Germany has become the third-largest source market for this destination, Merkur.de said, adding that other Moroccan cities, including Casablanca, Rabat, Tangier, and Fez, are also expected to attract increasing interest from German tourists.
