Morocco Tourism Investment Book — cover

The feeling, measured

  • 19.8 million visitors in 2025 — a third consecutive record, +14% year on year
  • $13B+ in tourism revenue — up from $11.3B in 2024, itself an all-time record
  • #1 destination in Africa — ahead of Egypt
  • 26 million visitors targeted by 2030 — anchored by the FIFA World Cup, co-hosted with Spain and Portugal
  • ~7% of GDP and 1.4 million jobs supported by tourism

The world is falling in love — and coming back

From the 2020 collapse (-78.5%) to record levels within three years — and the 2026 roadmap target reached two years early.

Why now? Because the runways are already built

  1. Demand is compounding — 19.8M visitors, records every year.
  2. The state is building ahead of demand — airports doubling to 80M passengers, 550 km of new high-speed rail, 60,000 more beds.
  3. The biggest long-haul market just opened — 1.2M American visitors in 2025 (+20%), on brand-new nonstop flights launched in 2024 and 2025.
  4. Capacity is still catching up — early entrants capture the wave.
  5. 2030 has a date on it. Windows like this close.

The American opportunity

America’s oldest friend is becoming its newest favorite journey. Morocco was the first nation to recognize the United States in 1777 — and today five US gateways fly nonstop to the kingdom: New York JFK, Newark (new, 2024), Washington Dulles, Atlanta (new, 2025) and Miami. No visa required, about seven hours from the East Coast.

Americans don’t just visit Morocco — they need someone they trust to plan it. That is the agency’s role. That is Morocco Trip Book.
