Morocco’s tourism industry begins recovery from the Covid-19 crisis
Wednesday 20 October 2021 - 11:28

Morocco’s tourist units and resorts began preparing for the reception of more tourists as the Kingdom intends to implement the vaccine pass, starting Thursday.

According to a Hespress source that refused to disclose their name, the current preparations to implement the vaccine pass and lift certain restrictions will significantly contribute to the recovery of the national tourism industry, which incurred major financial losses since March 2020.

The number of flights at Moroccan airports, especially in the southern regions, is steadily rising, which would positively affect operating rates of hotels and tourist units in major tourist cities, tourism expert Zoubir Bouhout told Hespress.

Tourism authorities expect the number of flights linking European tourists with the city of Marrakech to exceed 650 flights a week, a figure that is expected to rise even further.

“During the past week, the number of flights at Al-Manara Airport in Marrakesh reached nearly 600, a number that did not exceed 15 weekly flights in mid-June, which reflects the great mobility known by the demand for the national tourism product,” Bouhout told Hespress.

Morocco’s success in curbing the Covid-19 outbreak in the past months and the expansion of the kingdom’s national vaccination campaign are the factors that “contributed in reassuring foreign tourists wishing to spend their holidays in tourist resorts, especially for the south destination in general and Marrakesh in particular,” Bouhout concluded.
