Morocco’s tourism revenues reached a record of 80.1 billion dirhams in January-September 2023, a 24.8% increase year-on-year, according to the Studies and Financial Forecasts Department (DEPF).
Compared to their pre-crisis level, these revenues strengthened by 33.1%, DEPF pointed out in its November Economic Report.
At the end of October, the number of arrivals reached a record of 12.3 million tourists compared to 8.8 million a year earlier, the same source noted, adding that the volume of these arrivals increased by 39% year-on-year.
Compared to its pre-crisis level (end of October 2019), it increased by more than 10%, after a drop of 20.7% at the end of October 2022, despite the challenges linked to the Al Haouz earthquake, the DEPF underlined.
