Rabat – Morocco’s tourism industry has witnessed an unprecedented boom, welcoming a staggering 13.2 million visitors during the first eleven months of 2023, surpassing the previous annual record of 12.9 million set in 2019, the Ministry of Tourism, Crafts, and Social and Solidarity Economy has revealed.

A new statement by the ministry shows that the North African country has not only risen to the challenges posed by the global pandemic and the Al Haouz earthquake in early September, but has also set a new benchmark for its tourism sector, demonstrating a resilience and appeal that has captivated travelers from around the world.

Compared to the same period in 2022, growth stands at an impressive 36%, reflecting the effectiveness of Morocco’s strategic promotional campaigns and air travel initiatives.

November 2023 alone witnessed an influx of approximately one million tourists, marking a notable 9% increase compared to the same month in 2022.

Minister of Tourism, Crafts, and Social and Solidarity Economy, Fatim-Zahra Ammor, expressed delight in the outstanding results.
