The Moroccan tourism sector continues its exceptional momentum, reaching a historic milestone with the welcoming of 13.1 million visitors by the end of September 2024, announced the Ministry of Tourism, Handicrafts, and Social and Solidarity Economy on Wednesday.
This remarkable performance represents an increase of about 2 million tourists compared to the same period in 2023, highlighting the growing appeal of Morocco as an international tourist destination, according to a statement from the ministry.
September was particularly noteworthy, welcoming 1.3 million tourists, a 33% increase compared to September 2023. The number of foreign tourists surged by 40% for that month, the ministry noted.
“The Moroccan momentum is undeniable. Under the enlightened vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, our country is increasingly shining on the international stage. Our targeted efforts, in line with our roadmap, are bearing fruit,” said the Minister of Tourism, Handicrafts, and Social and Solidarity Economy, Fatim-Zahra Ammor.
She also pointed out that the significant increase in air connections, promotional campaigns, and the development of modern infrastructure and attractive tourist experiences contribute to this exceptional dynamism.
“This new record of tourist arrivals fills us with pride and strengthens our determination to achieve our ambitious goal of 26 million visitors by 2030,” she concluded.
