Morocco’s tourism sector is soaring to new heights, with the country welcoming a record 15 million visitors by the end of September 2025 — a 14% increase compared to the same period last year.
The figures, announced by the Ministry of Tourism, Handicrafts, and the Social and Solidarity Economy and reported by Lematin, mark a milestone achievement for the North African kingdom, which has become one of the world’s fastest-growing travel destinations.
Officials say the impressive performance is the result of a deliberate national strategy built on market diversification, enhanced air connectivity, and strong international promotion. Morocco’s tourism model, they noted, is now “a successful one,” reflecting years of consistent planning and investment.
The kingdom’s tourism revival also mirrors a broader resurgence across the Maghreb. Tunisia has nearly returned to pre-pandemic visitor levels, buoyed by its popular all-inclusive packages and well-established seaside resorts. Algeria, on the other hand, is taking gradual steps to showcase its vast Saharan landscapes and rich cultural heritage, long hidden from mainstream travel circuits.
This renewed regional momentum is repositioning the Maghreb as a rising hub on the global tourism map — with Morocco leading the way through its steady growth and innovation-driven approach.
At the heart of Morocco’s success lies a strategy that seamlessly blends modernization with authenticity. Expanding flight routes to Europe, the Middle East, and the United States has boosted accessibility, while promotional campaigns have spotlighted the nation’s breathtaking diversity — from the bustling souks of Marrakech and the blue-hued streets of Chefchaouen to the Atlantic coastlines that draw surfers from around the world.
Beyond numbers, Morocco is now focusing on enhancing the quality of visitor experiences. The government is channeling efforts into sustainable tourism, cultural exploration, and community-led initiatives designed to preserve local identity while generating employment and economic growth.
With this record-breaking performance, Morocco continues to cement its reputation as the Maghreb’s tourism powerhouse — and one of the world’s most sought-after destinations.
