Morocco ranked among the most popular destinations for Dutch tourists at the end of the 2025 summer season, according to new data from the Dutch Association of Travel Agents and Tour Operators (ANVR).

Bookings to Morocco rose sharply in September, when overall outbound travel from the Netherlands increased by 13 percent compared with the same month in 2024, ANVR said. About 2.4 million Dutch residents booked holidays abroad during the month, according to NielsenIQ data cited by the association, extending the tourist season into October with a clear preference for sunny southern destinations.

“The Dutch traveler went looking for autumn sun, and Morocco clearly benefited,” said ANVR director Frank Radstake.

While Europe remains dominant in total bookings, intercontinental trips now account for 20 percent of the market, ANVR noted, with Morocco among Africa’s fastest-growing destinations this year.
