Morocco’s tourism sector is off to a record-breaking start in 2025, welcoming 1.2 million visitors in January alone—a 27% increase compared to the same period in 2024, according to the Ministry of Tourism, Handicrafts, and Social and Solidarity Economy. This marks the first time Morocco has crossed the one-million visitor threshold in January, reinforcing its position as one of North Africa’s most dynamic travel destinations.
This surge comes amid ongoing investments in tourism infrastructure, expanded air connectivity, and a rising global interest in Morocco’s diverse offerings—from ancient medinas and luxury desert resorts to its booming eco-tourism sector. The country’s promotional campaigns, aimed at European, Middle Eastern, and American markets, are yielding impressive results, with increased flights and streamlined visa processes making Morocco more accessible than ever.
The nation’s ability to attract record numbers reflects its evolving travel strategy, blending heritage tourism with cutting-edge experiences. Key destinations like Marrakech, Fes, and Casablanca continue to drive strong visitor numbers, while emerging hotspots such as Essaouira, Dakhla, and the Atlas Mountains are drawing adventure seekers, surfers, and wellness tourists.
The Moroccan government has ambitious goals for 2025, with a clear focus on sustainable tourism and a push to further elevate the country’s status as a premier global travel destination. With visitor numbers soaring and infrastructure expanding, Morocco’s upward trajectory shows no signs of slowing down.
