Tourist arrivals in Morocco reached 13.2 million in the first eleven months of 2023, beating the absolute record of 12.9 million tourists in the whole of 2019, according to the Ministry of Tourism, Handicrafts and the Social and Solidarity Economy.
“2023 is indeed a breakthrough year for Moroccan tourism. In 11 months, 13.2 million tourists visited Morocco, beating the absolute record of 12.9 million for the whole of 2019,” the ministry said in a statement.
Compared with the same period in 2022, the increase amounts to 36%. In November 2023, around one million tourists flocked to Morocco, marking a 9% increase on November 2022.
This positive dynamic testifies to the effectiveness of Morocco’s promotional and aerial actions, as well as its growing attractiveness as a popular tourist destination.
Quoted in the press release, Fatim-Zahra Ammor, Minister of Tourism, Handicrafts and the Social and Solidarity Economy, said: “We are delighted with these exceptional results, which further encourage and motivate us to continue the work begun with all stakeholders in the sector. The start of the implementation of the 2023-2026 tourism roadmap is clearly bearing fruit, and we are well on our way to exceeding the target of 14 million tourists by the end of December 2023”.
