Morocco is becoming the newest popular destination for British tourists, said TripAdvisor, stating that the Moroccan National Tourism Office (MNTO) announced more airline routes from the UK.

Interest in the kingdom has surged by around 80%, and UK travelers are starting to favor Morocco over Spain.

Upon seeing TripAdvisor’s article, Morocco’s Minister of Tourism, Handicrafts, and Social and Solidarity Economy, Fatim-Zahra Ammor said “We are delighted to see Morocco becoming a popular destination among British tourists” in a post on LinkedIn.

“Morocco is the perfect long-haul destination with convenient short-haul flights. I am confident that British tourists will have a wonderful time exploring all that our country has to offer and will leave with unforgettable memories!” stated the minister.

She added “Congratulations to ONMT for their commitment and efforts. These insights are proof that our constant targeted promotion and airline actions are paying off. Let’s continue with our momentum and strive for further success!”

The added flights connecting Morocco and the UK now include routes from Glasgow to Agadir, London to Essaouira, and London to Ouarzazate.

Farouk Lazhar, a Trade Manager from the Moroccan National Tourist Office, told the same source “We are committed to promoting the country, as a safe and attractive destination for UK tourists, and the addition of new flights will undoubtedly further increase visitor numbers in the coming months.”
