Morocco's Tourism Arrivals Reached 11.6 Million Tourists by End of July
Rabat – Morocco has welcomed 11.6 million tourists by the end of July, the Ministry of Tourism announced today. In a new statement, the ministry said the number represents a 16% increase compared to the same period in 2024. The ministry attributed the momentum to the high number of arrivals among Moroccans residing abroad. 'These figures confirm the continuation of strong momentum,' the ministry said, adding that 52% of arrivals were from diaspora members. The statement further denied speculation suggesting that there has been a notable decline in the arrivals of Moroccan diaspora members this season compared to previous years. The month of July recorded 2.7 million arrivals, representing an increase of 6% compared to the same period last year, the ministry revealed. Foreign tourist arrivals reached 875,000, up by 2% year-on-year, while 1.8 million Moroccans residing abroad arrived in Morocco in July, representing a 7% increase. Tourism Minister Fatim-Zahra Ammor celebrated the new momentum, taking pride in the fact that Morocco continues to be a 'destination of both the heart and discourse for millions of tourists around the world.' This momentum is also driven by local tourists, Morocco's diaspora, and international visitors, she said, asserting that the trajectory takes place in a context marked by constant attention to tourist expectation as part of Morocco's 2023-2026 tourism roadmap. Last year, Morocco recorded 17.4 million tourist arrivals. The North African kingdom seeks to capitalize on the prestigious events that it will host in the upcoming seasons. Morocco expects tourism arrivals to further increase in the coming months, especially as it is preparing to host the Africa Cup of Nations later this year. By 2030, Morocco aims to attract 26 million visitors. The normally daunting goal appears to be reachable given that the country will be co-hosting the FIFA World Cup that year.
