Indeed, at the end of March 2023, Morocco welcomed 2.9 million tourists, a growth of 17% compared to the same period of 2019.

“The sector has been established as a national priority and all actions implemented have not only strengthened the resilience of the sector during the crisis but also accelerated the recovery, despite a difficult international economic context, “said Ammor, quoted in the statement.
According to the World Tourism Organization’s global tourism barometer, global arrivals in the first quarter of 2023 are down 20% compared to 2019. Apart from the Middle East, which is up 15%, all regions of the world continue to show double-digit declines, reflecting the difficulty of recovering arrivals in an increasingly competitive global arena (-10% for Europe, -46% for Asia, -14% for America, -12% for Africa …).
